President Javier Milei took part this Wednesday in the official ceremony for the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, held at the Holocaust Museum of Buenos Aires, where he reaffirmed his administration's commitment to the fight against antisemitism and terrorism. In that context, he assured that as long as he is at the head of the Executive Branch there will be zero tolerance for any antisemitic expression.
The head of state arrived at the museum, located on Montevideo Street at the 900 block, accompanied by the General Secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei, and he was received by authorities of the institution and leaders of the Jewish community. The event had a strong security presence, with officers from the Federal Police, the City Police, and personnel from the Military Household, and traffic cuts were carried out in the area to facilitate access for the guests.
During his address, Milei again warned about the growth of antisemitism at the global level and maintained that it is a phenomenon that finds momentum in the left. In that regard, he pointed out that old prejudices that seemed to have been overcome have reappeared with force and emphasized that, in his presidential role, he has used every available international forum to denounce the advance of terrorism.
The President also reiterated his geopolitical alignment with the West and with the values of freedom, stressing that the defense of life, memory, and historical truth are a central part of his administration's foreign policy. His participation in the ceremony took place shortly after his return from Mar del Plata, where he led political activities and meetings with activists and supporters.
The tribute was attended by national officials, among them the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, and the Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovello. The United States ambassador to Argentina, Peter Lamelas, also attended, as well as leaders from different political sectors and representatives of the Jewish community.

One of the most moving moments of the ceremony was the testimony of Lea Zajac de Novera, a survivor of the Auschwitz extermination camp, who recalled her experience during the genocide perpetrated by the Nazi regime. January 27 commemorates the 1945 liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau complex by Soviet troops, where more than one million people were murdered, mostly Jews.
The event was held in the framework of Argentina's presidency of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), an initiative promoted by the Government. As of this year, the presidency of the entity will be assumed by Marcelo Mindlin, current head of the Holocaust Museum of Buenos Aires, who will formally take office next March.
