The 18 governors inked the May Pact, or Pacto de Mayo, with the president at a historic site in Tucuman province in northern Argentina. The symbolic document lays out 10 agreements on medium and long-term policies, and served as an olive branch that Milei first extended during his inaugural speech to Congress in March as a sign of political compromise.
