Agenda Mileija: sastanak kabineta, rudarska turneja po Katamarici i izvršni događaji u provincijama za Vladu

President Javier Milei will begin his week at the Pink House with a diplomatic audience before presiding over a cabinet meeting. His official schedule includes travel to Catamarca, Santa Fe, and Neuquén provinces to accompany investments and institutional acts. These activities coincide with ongoing operational tasks for national cabinet members. The administration aims to strengthen institutional ties during this seven-day period following recent political developments abroad. Official activities start at 9:45 a.m. at the Pink House, where Milei receives Prince and Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Malta, Fray John Dunlap. Born in Ottawa, Canada, Dunlap serves as the religious superior of the institution based in Rome’s Magistral Palace. He was elected in May 2023 by the Full Council of State as the first non-noble lay knight to lead the order. At 10:00 a.m., the head of state chairs the regular cabinet meeting with ministers and close collaborators. Presidential spokesperson Adrian Ravier holds his usual press conference at 11:00 a.m. Later, at 5:00 p.m., the president travels to Catamarca province to inaugurate new lithium carbonate production plants for Rio Tinto. This mining firm specializes in extracting minerals key for industry and energy transition. On Wednesday, the president participates from 11:00 a.m. in the inauguration of lithium carbonate plants in Catamarca. This event marks the expansion of Project Phoenix located in the Salar del Hombre Muerto salt flat. He is accompanied by General Secretary Karina Milei, Chief of Cabinet Diego Santilli, and Economy Minister Luis Caputo. Meanwhile, at 9:00 a.m., Deregulation and State Transformation Minister Federico Sturzenegger speaks on labor reform and the Labor Assistance Fund at the National Bank auditorium. At 10:00 a.m., Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva attends the operational launch of PA-72 and PA-80 aircraft for the Argentine Naval Prefecture at San Fernando Airport. This falls under the force modernization program. Thursday brings business rounds for the Large Investment Incentive Regime in Rosario, Santa Fe province. During the morning, Karina Milei, Santilli, and Caputo move to the Rosario River Station for these business rounds. The day gathers investing companies, mining operators, contractors, small and medium enterprises, and business chambers. The goal is to promote commercial opportunities and strengthen national industry integration. On the ministerial front, Monteoliva joins the 32nd Border and Public Security Seminar of the National Gendarmerie at 9:00 a.m. Health Minister Mario Lugones speaks at 6:00 p.m. at the Fifth National Congress of the Council of Provincial Social Works and Services. Separately, criticism has emerged regarding a previous presidential visit to Spain. Doubts exist among insiders about whether that tour was a success. Reproaches target the Foreign Ministry for lacking a serious agenda. Questions also arise concerning Santiago Oria, the presidential videographer. In a separate diplomatic engagement, Karina Milei received U.S. Ambassador Peter Lamas at the Pink House on Wednesday. The current weekly agenda follows the defeat of Brazilian candidate Jair Bolsonaro in local elections. Twelve libertarian deputies traveled to Brazil independently to observe the runoff vote, while Milei monitored results from Olivos without an official delegation.
