Ceremony at the Cathedral and visit to Córdoba: what will be the schedule of President Javier Miley on May 25

This May 25, President Javier Miley will participate in the traditional Tandem at the Metropolitan Cathedral It will start at 9.30. The Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Garcia Cuervawill lead a religious ceremony at the historic Buenos Aires site.

At 8 o’clock the doors of the cathedral will open and half an hour later guests will be able to enter. At 9 o’clock, in the Hall of Busts of the Casa Rosada, the ministers and secretaries of state that make up the cabinet will meet the president. At 9:15 they will leave together walking down Rivadavia Avenue. The sermon is expected to be extended for about 50 minutesHowever, no information was revealed about its tone.

At 1:00 p.m., the president will leave for the province of Córdoba, where from 3:00 p.m. events will be held to celebrate the National Day, the day marking the 214th anniversary of the May Revolution. Although the signing of the so-called May Pact with the governors was canceled, Miley will deliver a speech in Plaza San Martín, in front of the Córdoba town hall. He will have the support of members of his cabinet and Martín Larriora, governor of the Mediterranean province. Two planes will travel: one with Miley and his closest entourage, ARG 03, and another where Vice President Victoria Villarruel will go with some more ministers and other officials.

The May agreement was postponed according to what the head of state had said a few days earlier “Because the Aadhaar law won’t be there”. In this sense, he argued that “now is not the time to bring it up. It could be done on June 20 or July 9, and then point out that “fifteen days, less, one month more, the emitter will not move. These are reforms that have to do with the long term.” The date of June 20 is almost ruled out because on that day Miley will still be on a trip to Europe, where he will attend the G7 summit – between the 13th and 15th – and then receive two awards, one in Spain on the 21st. next month, and another in Germany, 24 hours later.

This Friday, in his usual press conference, the presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni, said that “we invite all Argentines to be part of the May Cabildo. “Everyone is invited to be a participant in one of the most important achievements in history.”

Later, through the Presidential Office (OPRA) account on the social network X, a video was disseminated with the same invitation to the population to attend the event.

Adorni also stressed that “the defense of the right to life, liberty and property will play a key role in the years to come.” Adorni emphasized that “there were no conditions” to signing the May Accords because the Base Law process had not been completed, and he stressed that “the pictures do not matter to us: what matters to us are the agreements that will bring Argentina forward.”

“The great revolutions, the great paradigm shifts in the history of humanity, have always and everywhere been caused by the impulse of the people, of ordinary citizens. Córdoba is the Mecca of Argentine Independence; It is the province where the university reform took place, a youth movement to ensure freedom of teaching and thought in universities; It is the province where the Cordobazo took place, leading to the end of the authoritarian military government,” the official explained.

“It was one of the provinces where the famous and disastrous Law 125 was most vigorously rejected, where the people of Argentina and, more specifically, of Córdoba took to the streets to confront one of the greatest atrocities that was attempted to be perpetrated by a government in this 21st century. And, above all things, it is the province where, on November 19, the current president, Javier Mailey, won the elections,” he said.

“As the President pointed out in his speech at the opening of the ordinary session on 1 March, the May Pact, which Wants to put our people back on the path of development and prosperityThe signing will be held with the governors, the head of government of the city of Buenos Aires and representatives of the business sector, once the base law and the tax reform are approved,” OPRA expressed in a previous statement.

When the signing of the May Pact, which the government announced on March 1, was still in prospect, there were rumors that the Tandem might move to Córdoba and that the ceremony was to be presided over by the Archbishop of Córdoba. Cardinal Angel RossiWho was promoted to the hierarchy by Pope Francis in late September 2023. But it was rejected after delays in the treatment of the base law in the Senate.

Restoration works began in the Cabildo of Cordoba and the construction of the stages that will be used for official events this weekend began. They will begin on Friday at 5:30 p.m., according to information provided by the municipality of the capital city, where the mayor is Daniele Passerini.

The Association of State Workers (ATE) announced this morning that they would try to block access to the Cordoba airport, as a way of protesting the situation in the sector. In La Rosada they said that in this situation “all precautionary measures will be taken to protect the president.”
