Argentina: The Most Italian Country in the World Strengthens Its Historic Bilateral Relationship (Just Like with the USA and Israel)

(By Vera and Mary Molina)Argentina, recognized as the most Italian country in the world, has woven an indelible bond with the Italian peninsula throughout its history. This connection is not only cultural but also political and economic, gaining renewed significance with the recent granting of Italian citizenship to Javier Milei and his sister Karina by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. In a context where international relations are more crucial than ever, this event highlights not only the importance of Italian roots in Argentina but also opens up a range of opportunities to strengthen cooperation between the two nations. This impressive international policy by Argentina and President Milei, where the USA, Israel, and much of Europe are clearly allies in combating terrorism, state corruption, and promoting libertarian values and international transparency, is key to the 2025 roadmap and the future of the economy.

Summary and Tips

Summary: The recent granting of Italian citizenship to Javier Milei and his sister Karina underscores the strong bond between Argentina and Italy, reflecting shared cultural heritage and collaboration opportunities in the political and economic realms.

Milei arrived at the Roman Palazzo Chigi, the seat of the government presidency, and was welcomed by Meloni in the portico of the courtyard, where both listened to the anthems of their respective nations, sheltered from a heavy downpour. Meloni then invited the Argentine leader into the palace, where they posed for a photo with Karina Milei. 

The meeting lasted an hour and, according to an Italian statement, "offered the occasion to reaffirm the shared intent to further strengthen the already solid bilateral partnership." The recent granting of Italian citizenship to Javier Milei and his sister Karina not only reinforces a historic cultural link but also opens new avenues for collaboration between Argentina and Italy. "This recognition is a reminder that shared roots can serve as the foundation for building a prosperous and collaborative future." Argentine citizens should seize this connection and explore its potential benefits.

 



Tips:

 

  • 70% of Argentina's population has one or more direct Italian ancestors.

 

  • Argentina is the country with the largest Italian population outside of Italy.

 

  • Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hosted President Milei in Rome on Friday afternoon to strengthen the “solid” bilateral relations between the two countries, focusing on judicial cooperation, trade, and the fight against organized crime.

 

  • This was the fifth meeting between the leaders this year.

Italian Heritage in Argentina

"The recognition of Italian citizenship for Javier Milei and his sister Karina, 'by descent,' reflects a broader phenomenon affecting millions of Argentines." This legacy is not just about nationality but about identity. According to records, more than one million Argentines hold dual nationality, including prominent figures like Lionel Messi and Emanuel Ginóbili. "Milei's Italian roots trace back to his grandfather Francesco 'Ciccio' Milei, a Calabrian immigrant who arrived in Argentina in 1926."

 



Bilateral Relations: A Strategic Link

Milei's visit to Italy was not merely symbolic. "Prime Minister Meloni and Milei met to strengthen the 'solid' bilateral relations," focusing on areas such as trade and judicial cooperation. This meeting is a crucial step toward "finalizing an Action Plan for 2025-2030" that will benefit both countries. "Italy aims to increase its economic presence in Argentina, particularly in the energy sector."

All with the goal of concluding “in the coming months” an Action Plan for 2025-2030 that allows for deeper engagement in areas of mutual interest. During the meeting, Meloni expressed Italy's willingness to enhance “its own economic and commercial presence in Argentina, particularly in high value-added sectors like energy.” They also agreed to “reaffirm the importance of judicial cooperation and security, with special reference to combating international organized crime.”

Italian Citizenship: A Right of Blood

The process of obtaining Italian citizenship through "ius sanguinis" allows descendants of Italians to acquire nationality regardless of generational distance. "This right of blood is a bond that connects generations, enabling Argentines to reconnect with their European heritage." This phenomenon has been fueled by the Italian diaspora and the inclusion policies of the Italian government.

Milei’s Political Agenda in Italy

Milei focused not only on obtaining citizenship but also participated in the 'Atreju' convention, a key event in the Italian political agenda. "During this meeting, Milei advocated for his ideas on reducing the state and promoting individual freedom," highlighting his neoliberal approach. "I never relax; I enjoy my work of cutting public spending," stated Milei, emphasizing his commitment to a policy of austerity.

(Redacción del equipo IN de Miami con Mary Molina y M.

Miami reimagina la interconexión sustentable: el Metro Express y la revolución silenciosa tan demandada

(Por Taylor) Imaginen por un instante el Miami de 1984. La US-1 era ya una herida abierta de congestión, promesas políticas incumplidas y una expansión urbana que devoraba manglares y tiempo de vida. Cuatro décadas después, ese mismo corredor se convierte en el escenario de una revolución silenciosa pero profundamente disruptiva: el primer sistema de autobuses rápidos 100% eléctricos de Estados Unidos.

2026: año de la potenciación de dos grandes formas de competir (en toda industria y servicios)

(Una cocreación Ristretter- Infonegocios Miami, por Marcelo Maurizio, junto a Maqueda-Otero) Existe una bifurcación estratégica fundamental en el capitalismo contemporáneo que determina el destino de cualquier organización comercial. Si tu modelo operativo se fundamenta en la manufactura masiva —típico de conglomerados asiáticos enfocados en eficiencia productiva extrema—, tu arquitectura empresarial gravitará inexorablemente hacia la optimización de costos marginales, velocidad de rotación de inventario y distribución de alto volumen. Pero… te contamos.
