President Javier Milei's inflammatory speech at the Legislative Assembly sparked a wide range of reactions, from staunch defense by officials and allies to fierce criticism from opposition leaders. Jokes, provocations, and taunts were a constant from the president during the ordinary session opening ceremony, and these confrontational expressions colored how each sector decoded the head of state's message. National Deputy Lisandro Almirón highlighted that in Milei's speech, the "issue of identity and belonging to a management that has a lot to show" was preserved. "He has done a lot in a short time," he wrote. "A very disconnected president from the country's social and economic reality was seen. How much better it would have been, a gesture of humility to recognize the many issues that need to be resolved for Argentines." In contrast, National Deputy of the Left Front Romina del Plá told the Argentine News Agency that Milei "spoke of a country that does not exist." "It is a government that is facing its third year in office, and despite that, it focused on the inheritance received. There are mass layoffs, companies are closing, people are rummaging through the garbage, you go to any plaza at night and you find people eating with social assistance, soup kitchens have closed," described the Workers' Party leader.
