Javier Milei and his measures, live: the President's message to the selection and the project to suspend the PASO

Javier Milei, president of Argentina, addressed the national football team live during the World Cup final, emphasizing his administration's commitment to economic reform and political stability. Simultaneously, his government proposed legislation to suspend the upcoming general elections, known as PASO, citing the need for urgent legislative action. The move has sparked debate among political analysts and citizens alike, with some viewing it as a necessary step toward restructuring the country’s political framework and others criticizing it as an attempt to circumvent democratic processes. The proposal to suspend PASO comes amid ongoing discussions about the role of the judiciary under Milei’s leadership. According to reports, the president has used his authority to determine which judges should retire at age 75, favoring those aligned with his policies. This approach has drawn scrutiny, with legal experts noting that while the constitution grants him this power, its application appears selective. For instance, Judge Martín Irurzun was required to retire, whereas other judges who reached the age limit were not affected. The Ministry of Justice confirmed that such discretion is part of the president’s constitutional mandate, though critics argue it undermines judicial independence. Meanwhile, political figures have taken part in international events, drawing attention to their personal involvement in global affairs. Diego Santilli, the head of cabinet, met with Governor Juan Pablo Valdés of Corrientes in Buenos Aires to discuss shared policy goals. Their conversation focused on supporting infrastructure projects in the province, including the Alvear-Itaquí bridge and the Monte Caseros-Bella Unión bridge. These initiatives are seen as key to strengthening regional ties and improving transportation networks. In another notable development, Melody Rakauskas, a woman who had previously filed a sexual abuse complaint against La Matanza mayor Fernando Espinoza, sought legal measures to prevent him from leaving the country without authorization. Her case was initially closed due to lack of formal charges and insufficient evidence, but it was recently reopened by the National Court of Cassation, restoring her role as the complainant. She now seeks protective measures to ensure her safety. Additionally, members of the Moyano family, known for their union activities, made headlines by attending the World Cup final. Nicolás Moyano, one of the sons of union leader Pablo Moyano, traveled to New Jersey to watch the match. He was accompanied by a friend whose father is also associated with the Camioneros union, which owns the club he plays for. His presence at the event reflected the broader cultural significance of sports in Argentine society, even as political tensions continue to shape domestic discourse. Lastly, Senator Bartolomé Abdala, representing the libertarian party, attended the same World Cup final. His appearance, captured in viral images, showed him dressed casually in a black cap, jeans, and a beige jacket. While neither he nor his aides denied the trip, officials from the ruling party chose not to comment directly on the incident. Instead, they downplayed its importance, with some suggesting that the senator’s attendance was a routine occurrence rather than a political statement.
