Buenos Aires, Argentina – President Javier Milei will lead the solemn Flag Day ceremony in Palermo, Buenos Aires, marking a significant moment for national unity and a reaffirmation of Argentina’s foundational values. While the traditional commemoration for the 205th anniversary of Manuel Belgrano’s death will proceed in Rosario, President Milei’s decision to preside over the central event in the capital underscores his focus on a direct and impactful celebration of national pride.

The ceremony in Palermo is meticulously planned to be a “sober” and dignified event, dedicated entirely to the traditional oath to the flag by the brave members of the Armed Forces. This choice of venue and tone reflects President Milei’s commitment to focusing on national symbols and institutions, free from any political distractions.

In a display of unified leadership, Vice President Victoria Villarruel will represent the executive branch at the Rosario commemoration, alongside the governor of Santa Fe and the mayor of Rosario. This dual approach ensures that both key national events are honored with the appropriate gravitas and participation from government officials.

President Milei’s leadership in the Palermo ceremony highlights his dedication to fostering a renewed sense of patriotism and shared national identity. By bringing the central Flag Day celebration to the heart of the capital, the administration aims to inspire all Argentinians to reflect on their heritage and unite under the principles of freedom and sovereignty that the national flag represents.
