Miley called former presidents, governors, court judges, businessmen, and union members to sign the May Accords on 9 July.

President Javier Miley relaunched the May Pact today and called on former presidents, governors, political officials, members of the Supreme Court, businessmen and union members to sign it in Tucumán on July 9.

“To achieve that dream of a prosperous and independent Argentina, it is necessary that all of us who share the cause of independence, all of us who understand that Argentina must re-embrace the ideas that made us great, put aside our personal interests and work together to establish the new economic order that Argentina needs to become a world power again,” he summarized.

The president delivered a fiery speech in the Santa Fe city of Rosario to end the official Flag Day event. There, at the end of his words, he again called for the signing of the May Agreement, originally scheduled for May 25, but frustrated by the delay in the approval of the Base Law and the Fiscal Agreement.

Unlike his first call, made during the opening of a general session of Congress, on this occasion he also included former presidents of Argentina among the guests. Thus, if they accept, they will be after the president Alberto Fernández, Mauricio Macri, Cristina Kirchner, Eduardo Duhalde and Adolfo Rodríguez Saá. María Estela Martínez de Perón may also participatewho have lived in Spain for decades, and it will be necessary to see if the invitation reaches those who led the national executive for a while, such as Ramón Puerta and Eduardo Camaño during the 2001 crisis, or Federico Pinedo, who took over for a few hours in the middle of the conflict over the transfer of command between Cristina Kirchner and Mauricio Macri in 2015.

“I want to take advantage of this day, in which the Argentine flag is flying in the sky, the approval of the Base Law and the fiscal package already advanced, to call on all political authorities, governors, leaders of the main political parties, former presidents of the nation, members of the Supreme Court, businessmen, workers and of course all Argentine citizens to meet in Tucumán on the night of July 9 “We’re finally going to sign the treaty in May and we’ll finally start to turn the page on our history,” Miley said.,

What is remarkable about his speech is that in his sweeping appeal he did not mention the Church, which has for some time now been issuing various warnings about the social state of the country.

The president, who was accompanied in Rosario by almost his entire cabinet of ministers (only the head of the Treasury, Luis “Toto” Caputo, was missing) and Vice President Victoria Villarruel highlighted the portrait of Manuel Belgrano, whom they described as a “maximalist” of freedom and that “understood”We were either free or not, there was no intermediate point.

“Freedom doesn’t ask for permission, it imposes itself, it doesn’t wait for orders from some bureaucrat who speculates on what is fair or not, freedom is an innate instinct of being Argentine, and that is why in the long run it always makes its way. Freedom is inevitable, no matter how much some people oppose it or want to stop it,” he said, associating Belgrano’s image with ideas promoted by the government.

Miley also states that when Belgrano wrote to the Triumvirate to adopt the flag as an official symbol, “the government of Buenos Aires rejected it and ordered him to hoist another flag. Because the political leadership in Buenos Aires was still not talking about independence, about an independent country, but about an autonomous government of viceregal authorities, but loyal to the crown and Fernando VII. They did not want to send a false diplomatic message, they wanted to take care of the forms, as some still prefer to do today, some guided by fear, because they did not have the courage to be independent, others because they simply wanted to remain subjects.

“Belgrano was not only a leader of the people, but he was also an example of honesty and trustworthiness in the exercise of public office. Belgrano, like many others after him, had to suffer the porous hands of politicians. Ultimately, after all he had done to liberate these lands, Belgrano died poor without being able to collect the money that the state owed him as a salary as a general. In other words, we never paid him properly for the service he provided. “It is not an invention of recent decades that politicians disrespect those in uniform who put their bodies on the line for the country, but it is a tradition we must end.” he added elsewhere in his speech.

After his presentation in Rosario, Javier Mieli returned to Buenos Aires and in the evening he will travel to Spain at the start of a new tour through Europe, which will include Germany and the Czech Republic, and will return to the country next Tuesday.

Before Javier Miley’s speech, the mayor of Rosario, Pablo Jawkin, and the governor of Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro, spoke, who took the opportunity to thank him for his support in the fight against drug trafficking, but also demanded greater federalism.

,Mr President, look at this country, look at the productive hinterland, we lack the infrastructure to be able to develop and deploy all the potential that our country has.” Pullaro assures.

And he added: “We also need to keep our young people in universities and of course we need fiscal balance and the provinces we’re working with, but we also need economic development, growth and integrating our educational system with our productive system; we need federalism.”

The governor dedicated a paragraph of his speech – which he almost did not read – to thank the national government for its help in combating drug trafficking, which had turned the city of Santa Fe into one of the most attacked by criminal gangs.
