President Javier Milei led the official act for Veterans and Fallen in the Malvinas War Day in Buenos Aires' Plaza San Martín, reaffirming the sovereignty claim over the islands and announcing distinctions for veterans in 2027. Vice President Victoria Villarruel took part in Chivilcoy, skipping the Tierra del Fuego vigil to avoid manipulated photos with opponents. Opponents like Axel Kicillof and Máximo Kirchner criticized the Government for allegedly scorning sovereignty.
Argentine ambassador to France, Ian Sielecki, halted a hearing at the National Assembly upon noticing a map depicting the Malvinas Islands as British territory. He requested that part of the map be covered before proceeding with his talk on bilateral relations between Argentina and France. Authorities eventually complied by placing a sticky note over the islands.
