Overview
- The Presidency confirmed that President Javier Milei will attend the official midnight Vigilia in San Miguel de Tucumán on the night of July 8–9 and will not travel to the United States for July 4.
- Vice President Victoria Villarruel has been officially invited and will coincide with Milei at the Casa Histórica, where the government seeks a group photo with provincial governors to project unity.
- Tucumán authorities have laid out a heavy security plan for the celebrations with more than 2,000 police, helicopter and ground deployments, and restrictions on alcohol sales near Plaza Independencia.
- Karina Milei has reconvened the government’s mesa política for Tuesday to relaunch the executive’s political command and mark Diego Santilli’s debut as chief of cabinet after Manuel Adorni’s resignation.
- The move aims to shift focus back to domestic priorities — including a proposed change to the BCRA charter and political-reform talks on measures such as PASO — and could shape upcoming negotiations over federal funding and legislative votes.
