The 2024 opening of regular sessions of the National Congress of Argentina took place on March 1, 2024. It was a speech delivered by president Javier Milei at the National Congress of Argentina.
Organization
The security was managed by the federal police, the police of Buenos Aires, and the military house. The streets around and in the vicinity of the National Congress were closed since 17:30: Av. de Mayo, Rivadavia, Bartolomé Mitre, Riobamba/Combate de los Pozos, Hipólito Yrigoyen, Entre Ríos, Adolfo Alsina, and Ayacucho. Although they are not in the immediate vicinity, there were security operations at Av. Corrientes, Leandro N. Alem, Paseo Colón, Junín and Belgrano.[1] Line A of the Buenos Aires Metro, which flows below the Congress building, worked with a limited service.[1]
Mayor Jorge Macri opened the regular sessions of the Buenos Aires legislature on the same day, at 9:00. Governor Axel Kicillof of the Buenos Aires Province was scheduled to do the same as well, but moved the local ceremony to the following Monday.[1]
Milei left the Casa Rosada at 20:35 and headed to the Congress with most of his cabinet. He was received by vicepresident Victoria Villarruel and the president of the Camber of Deputies, Martín Menem.[1]
Contents and delivery
Contrary to tradition, the ceremony was held at 21:00, instead of noon. According to the presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni, the ceremony was held out of usual labor hours to ensure that most people would be able to see it. The ceremony was broadcast by cadena nacional.[1]
In the speech Milei criticised the presidency of Alberto Fernández and the unions, and promised to take actions against the dominant political groups, such as removing the privileged retirements of presidents and vice-president.
Responses
Several Piquetero organizations and left-wing groups organized demonstrations at Congress, at the time of Milei's speech. Gabriel Solano said "We'll be there with a big demonstration and a massive cacerolazo to manifest our rejection of this war plan that the government wages against the working class".[1] Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich reported that they got 803 denounces of people forced to join those demonstrations, and that some of them were instructed to attend it armed with sticks and to jump the security perimeters.[1]
