It faces a complex month of October. On Sunday 26, the legislative elections of mid -mandate will take place, where a parliament will be renewed in which a series of defeats, before cracks and fissures in the support that the traditional conservative right was giving to its ‘chainsaw policy’, with hard social cuts and privatizations, will accumulate. But it also comes from seeing how freedom advances (lla) in the regional of Buenos Aires, where that date will vote almost 40% of all Argentines, after a blunt.
This backdrop is completed with the in Buenos Aires, Jose Luis Espet, who has been denounced for alleged links and supposed ‘bites’ with a businessman arrested and slope of extradition to the US for drug trafficking. With this presentation letter, this Tuesday Milei has made a decision that required authorization from Congress. Between October 20, six days before the elections, and on November 15, the entry of about thirty American marines for the realization of military exercises is authorized, as revealed .
The Argentine president has skipped the Parliament by pulling an emergency decree, specifically with Decree 697/2025, to guarantee that he arrives in his country both “media” and “personal” of the US Army. In a decision that must have the approval of a parliamentary majority. To the elderly, Milei has also taken advantage of the last hours for close to the election appointment. On October 14 he will meet again in Washington with the same Donald Trump as during the UN General Assembly he launched an economic cape in the form of a line of credit (swap) of the whopping.
What will those exercises with the US consist of?
In this sense, and according to the aforementioned Argentine medium, this authorization has as its object a joint experience between the armed forces of both American countries: “The exercise aims to exchange procedures, techniques and tactics of training between special forces to operate in complex scenarios that require multinational coordination, immediate response capacity and the effective use of advanced technologies, with the novelty doctrinal and technical contribution of the United States Navy.”
The location of these exercises will include the naval bases of Mar de Plata, Ushuaia and Puerto Belgrano (Punta Alta), developing in “the spaces destined for maritime and land military instruction.” It should be remembered that Milei, despite all the cuts that ensures that they are necessary to reset the Argentine economy, one of its first defense decisions was that of Americans. Actually, they were Danish, or at least they were for 40 years of use, because who sought to buy new fighters was the Denmark government. Milei took F-16, while Copenhagen had taken his eye on.
