President Javier Milei thanked his supporters, highlighting their backing in September as the foundation for the reconstruction in Buenos Aires province. 'I want to thank you because back in September, when we had a setback, we won in this section, and it was the basis for the reconstruction in the province of Buenos Aires,' Milei highlighted to those present. Using the summer season as a platform, the Head of State outlined the agenda that the Executive will send to Congress in the short term. In terms of security, he confirmed the presentation of the project to lower the age of criminal responsibility. 'Crime of an adult, penalty of an adult,' Milei stated, adding that they will seek to increase 'all penalties in the Criminal Code so that those who commit them actually pay for them.' On the economic front, he announced a Tax Reform with the goal of 'lowering the tax burden every day and making us freer.' 'Soon, we will have the laws of reasonable countries,' he assured. To close, Milei launched an ambitious promise about the timeline of his administration: 'All the promises we made in the campaign will be fulfilled before mid-year. We are not only fulfilling the ones from 2023, but we are also starting to fulfill the ones from the 2025 campaign.'
