The government of Javier Milei has announced in recent hours that it will not support the final document drafted by the countries participating in the G20 summit, taking place in the South African city of Johannesburg. This decision aligns with the United States, which called the document 'shameful' and did not participate in its drafting. In a statement, Argentina's Ministry of Foreign Affairs provided a stern justification, stating that it 'responds to the breakdown of the consensus rules governing the body's functioning, as well as to substantial differences in the geopolitical considerations contained in the text.' At the same time, it expressed disagreement with the approval of a declaration without the endorsement of all member countries, as, in addition to Argentina and the United States, other states also did not endorse the final document. 'This decision omits a central norm of the G20, an organization whose main mandate is the global coordination of actions and policies aimed at financial stability and economic growth, always on the basis of consensus,' the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated. The Argentine Republic did not endorse the final document circulated during the G20 Leaders' Summit in Johannesburg. In the same vein, it was criticized that 'regarding the conflict in the Middle East, Argentina differs from the partial approach reflected in the document, which omits the regional context and the underlying structural causes of the conflict—elements indispensable for the advancement of a genuine, sustainable, and balanced peace process.' Under these circumstances, it is the first time in the history of the G20 summit that there will not be a declaration by consensus of all member countries.
