President Javier Milei made an appearance at a government tribute commemorating General José de San Martín on the 176th anniversary of the general's death. During his speech, Milei sought to link his ideology to that of San Martín, the liberator of Argentina, Chile, and Peru. He stated that they have no past to return to and must move forward, following the path of their founding father and upholding liberty as a mandate.
At the Plaza San Martín event, Milei placed a wreath at the monument of the Father of the Homeland and paid tribute to San Martín's efforts and sacrifice in freeing half a continent. He also warned against those who would seek to undermine liberty and the values left to them by San Martín. Milei emphasized the importance of a free people being protected by trained security forces equipped with necessary weapons.
He declared that the feats of San Martín are an inspiration for his government and that the mission is to go beyond what is believed possible, reviving the flame of liberty in Argentina. Milei stressed that they will fight for liberty wherever necessary and that the country needs it today. He lamented Argentina's lack of freedom and economic growth compared to previous years and attributed the decline to the Peronist economic model.
Milei affirmed that Argentina can become the freest country in the world and called for efforts to preserve the legacy of General San Martín by striving to be the best country possible.
