The May 25th Pact (in Spanish Pacto del 25 de Mayo), commonly known as the Pacto de Mayo, is a pact proposed by Argentina's President, Javier Milei, to the governors of the 23 Provinces of Argentina as well as to the head of government of the capital, Buenos Aires. It is based on 10 outline points proposed by the government.[1]
On March 1, 2024, Milei announced the Pact during the opening of the 142° ordinary session of the National Congress.[2] [3] [4] The Pact was postponed due to issues with the Law of Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines and the fiscal packet in the Plenary Commission of the Argentine Senate. In spite of the pact not being signed by the agreed date, it remained with the same name.[5] After the approval of the Law of Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines and the fiscal packet, on June 20, during the Argentinian Flag Day in Rosario, Milei renewed the invitation to the governors on July 9 in the Casa de Tucumán. During the 208° anniversary of the original Argentinian Independence Declaration, the Pact was signed by the attending governors.[6]
