Buenos Aires, December 25 (NA) — This unusual Christmas night, various political figures used the holiday to post their messages and wishes for 2026 on social media.
However, the absence of a post from former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was a surprise. According to the Argentine News Agency, she remains hospitalized at the Otamendi Hospital after undergoing surgery for appendicitis.
Former President Mauricio Macri only posted an extensive message aimed at President Javier Milei, whom he did not name by name. On Christmas Eve, he published a photo of his family at a festive dinner table.
Vice President Victoria Villarruel also expressed her good wishes: "May this Christmas night, when Jesus Christ is born, fill our hearts with joy and happiness at the birth of the King of Kings."
The Governor of the Province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, wished "happy holidays" to "the families of Buenos Aires" and urged them "not to lower their arms." "This is a different Christmas," he said. "It has been a year of big decisions and hard work to change Argentina. Let's move forward, without letting up, making Argentina the country we know it can be. I toast to them, Merry Christmas! Not to lower our arms!"
The head of the PRO bloc, Deputy Cristian Ritondo, also took the opportunity to highlight the moment to rest. "This Christmas night is a great opportunity to take a pause after a long year. May these celebrations find us united and looking to the future. Another year. Enjoy it, surrounded by our family and friends, who are ultimately always there to back us up. God bless the Argentine Republic."
The Chief of Cabinet, Manuel Adorni, did the same in a simple message: "Merry Christmas!"
Deputy from the Union for the Homeland Juan Grabois shared a video showing how the activists of the Excluded Workers Movement (MTE) and Patria Grande organized a Christmas dinner for homeless people in front of the National Congress.
Patricia Bullrich, this time as head of the La Libertad Avanza bloc in the Senate, posted a video thanking the public for their support and celebrated her new responsibility at the head of the Legislative Power.
"Merry Christmas and Merry Christmas!," he posted, surrounded by his wife, Juliana Awada, and the couple's daughters, Antonia Macri and Valentina Barbier. The libertarian, elusive to the festivity, after posting a video in which he anticipated new reforms, used his X account to express: "Argentines, Merry Christmas...!!!". "After a difficult year, we wish you peace, solidarity and the best for what's to come. Let's build a province and an Argentina for everyone. VLLC!".
