The president Javier Milei was awarded the Regional Leadership Award this Friday in the city of Montevideo. Upon receiving the distinction, the president once again questioned the role of the State by ensuring that it is a “violent criminal association that lives off taxes.”
“I hate the State, because the State is a violent criminal association that lives off of taxes. What is slavery? A 100% tax, which is not very different from what communism is”said the head of state when obtaining the award from the Association of Marketing Managers (ADM) from Uruguay.
The libertarian received the award after his participation in the LXV Summit of Mercosur and Associated States held in the Uruguayan capital. In his award ceremony, Milei highlighted that the “economic growth” depends on “institutions.”
Along these lines, the president once again highlighted the “values of the West” and said that only “You can be successful by serving others with goods of better quality or better price“. “Those who are successful are actually social benefactors”he insisted.
The award ceremony was led by the Argentine journalist Oscar González Oro and was attended by Uruguayan businessmen who also listened to the words of Jorge Abuchaljapresident of ADM.
Javier Milei before Mercosur: “Let’s accept that this model is exhausted”
The president Javier Milei made his debut within the framework of the Mercosur leaders’ summit, where he asked his peers to accept “that this model is exhausted” and proposed loosening “the ties that today suffocate us instead of strengthening us.
“Mercosur ended up being a prison that does not allow countries to take advantage of their comparative advantages or their export potential,” stated the president, who was accompanied by the head of the Economy, Luis Caputo.
The head of state landed this Friday at 7:32 at the Carrasco airport, in Montevideo, to meet with his counterparts in the region. He was accompanied on the presidential plane by his spokesperson, Manuel Adorniand the General Secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei. In Uruguay they expected him, in addition to Caputo, the chancellor Gerardo Werthein.
“I would like to invite you, as brothers that we are, to let’s open our eyes and be intellectually honest; Let’s accept that this model is sold out and let’s look for a new formula that benefits us all, so that we can all trade more and better, because it is trade that generates prosperity and what will put an end to the great Latin American scourge, which is the abject poverty of our people.” Milei asked.
