Javier Milei spoke this Wednesday in Davos: “The West is in danger”
President Javier Milei spoke on Wednesday morning before the leaders and businessmen of the world, where, in addition, emphasized the “ideas of freedom” and made a fierce defense of capitalism. At the same time, the president questioned the socioeconomic model proposed by socialism since it “condemns the world to poverty” and criticized the role of the State.
The beginning of the Argentine president’s speech had its emphasis on a warning to world leaders and businessmen about “the values of the West” and “a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism”.
“Today I am here to tell you that the West is in danger. It is in danger because Those who are supposed to defend Western values find themselves co-opted by a worldview that inexorably leads to socialism., and consequently, to poverty. Unfortunately, in recent decades, motivated by some by the right-thinking desire to help others and others by the desire to belong to a privileged caste, the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism,” he said.
Milei’s speech in Davos: what was the reaction of the media in the world
The newspaper El País, from Spain, provided an analysis of the libertarian president’s words and assured that his speech “angers” world leaders: “Increasingly apocalyptic, Milei exposed his fundamentalist vision of the market that is not even assumed here, in Davos, where all the companies present are accustomed to public-private collaborations that other presidents demand, such as the Spanish, Pedro Sánchez, who spoke right after in the same forum. Milei defended that the only ones who really do things well are the businessmen, precisely those who populated the room.but the tone was apocalyptic.”
The AFP news agency, for its part, assured that, in advance of his speech, The libertarian held an “excellent” meeting with the British Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, with whom he addressed the question of the Malvinas Islands. However, and on the eve of the meeting with the head of the IMF Kristalina Georgieva, the French media sees Milei’s ideas as “issues that could clash with those defended in this forum. He denies, for example, that human activity is responsible of climate change”.
The EFE news agency, in a similar vein, described as an “attack” the words of the Argentine President towards international organizations and the agendas of feminism and the environment: “The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, attacked this Wednesday at the Davos Forum the international agendas of feminism and the environment, considering them part of the influence that socialism is having on the economic policies of West”.
The word “attack” was also shared by the British newspaper The Guardian, who headlined: “Milei claims that the Western world is in danger, in an attack on socialism”.
