The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, warned this Wednesday (01/17/2024) before the world elite gathered at the Davos Forum that “The West is in danger”, in a speech in which he also attacked social justice and feminism. Furthermore, he called the businessmen who listened to his intervention “heroes” and stated that the “State is not the solution,” but rather “the problem itself.”
“Those who are supposed to defend Western values find themselves co-opted by a worldview that inexorably leads to socialism, and consequently, poverty,” Milei proclaimed. “You are the creators of the greatest period of prosperity that we have experienced,” she told the businessmen, after calling them “social benefactors,” for which she recommended that they “not give in to the advance of the State.”
In a half-hour speech, which the Argentine president opened by saying that “the West is in danger” due to the advance of socialism over “free enterprise capitalism,” he recommended that businessmen “not let themselves be intimidated by either the political caste or the by the parasites who live off the State”.
Eventful journey for Milei
The World Economic Forum in Davos was the international debut of the Argentine president, who used the stage to present to the world his libertarian ideas, well known in his country, but new to the world’s political and business leaders gathered there. Before that select audience, he stated that the social justice that “has become fashionable in the last decade” is actually “intrinsically unjust,” because “the State is financed through taxes and taxes are coercively collected.” .
He also attacked the so-called “political caste” that wants to “maintain its privileges”, said that “radical feminism did not contribute anything to society”, since it resulted in the “intervention of the State to hinder the economic process and give work to bureaucrats “, and criticized the “tragedy of abortion.” Some in the audience gathered to shake his hand and take selfies with him, while his speech was congratulated by personalities such as Elon Musk and other representatives of the right on social networks.
During the day, Milei met with the director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, as well as with the British Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, in meetings that he separately described as “excellent.” The Argentine president traveled to the forum accompanied by his foreign minister, Diana Mondino; the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo; the chief of staff, Nicolás Posse, and the general secretary of the Presidency and her sister, Karina Milei.
