# Milei is sworn in as president of Argentina

Date: 2023

## The fact

On 10 December 2023 [Javier Milei](/people/javier-milei) was sworn in as president, taking the chainsaw brand into Casa Rosada.

## Context

Villarruel was vice president. Neighbouring devaluation is three days later. Neighbouring DNU is ten days later.

19 November runoff is the parent. 13 December devaluation is a child shock.

The President of Argentina heads the federal executive, issues decrees of necessity and urgency subject to congressional review, and appoints the cabinet. He does not write INDEC prints, an IMF board decision, a [US Treasury](/organizations/us-treasury) backstop, or a Central Bank balance sheet by himself. Congress, governors, the BCRA, and coalition deputies share specific files. Dollarisation announced is not dollarisation completed.

## Evidence and sources

Casa Rosada carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed oath after a runoff is a dated transfer instrument.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 10 December 2023 oath, independently reported.

Not established: that every later DNU was this ceremony, or a unique later poverty coefficient from the sash.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Congress sat. He took the oath. [Massa](/people/sergio-massa)’s government handed over.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Milei is sworn in as president of Argentina, not a later speech about Milei is sworn in as president of Argentina.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Milei is sworn in as president of Argentina on 2023-12-10 is not a licence to treat every later Casa Rosada communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Milei is sworn in as president of Argentina into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Voters had elected. Congress sat. He took the oath. Massa’s government handed over. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
