During his speech for the Day of the Veteran and the Fallen in the Malvinas War, President Javier Milei referred to the salary situation of the Armed Forces (FFAA), as well as the pending debt with those who defended the islands. The head of state assured that “it is being addressed responsibly” not only in terms of salaries, but also of the Social Work of the Federal Security Forces, through an institutional reorganization that “prioritizes medical coverage for personnel and their families, limits administrative spending and guarantees an orderly transition.” In this sense, the President remarked that it is “a recognition that the national Executive Branch owes our heroes for many years.” In a speech that reaffirmed the sovereignty claim over the Malvinas Islands, Milei also sent a strong message against oil exploitation promoted by the United Kingdom. “To our heroes, memory and glory.” “We are aware that there is a wage debt with the forces,” he added. Along the same lines, he confirmed that the national government will allocate “10% of fiscal income from privatizations” to the purchase of weapons and capital goods to “strengthen the national defense system.” Regarding Malvinas veterans, Milei announced that they will be granted a distinction: “Next year will be very special, as it will mark the 45th anniversary of the war for our islands. “To the Malvinas Islands, eternal loyalty and commitment,” he concluded. “To our veterans, honor and gratitude.”
