“Today I am here to tell you that the West is in danger, it is in danger because those who are supposed to defend the values of the West find themselves co-opted by a vision of the world that – inexorably – leads to socialism, consequently, to poverty,” This is how the president, Javier Milei, began his speech at the Davos Forum a year ago.
At that time, he said that, in recent decades, “The main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism.”
He made reference to Argentina when he stated: “We are here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world, but – on the contrary – they are their cause.”
Last year his presence aroused interest, more because of the eccentricity of his person than because of knowing his ideas. Today Milei returns to the same place with the strength of the achievements achieved in just one year. Furthermore, Donald Trump’s victory strengthens his ideas.
“Definitely, the world must celebrate the arrival of President Trump. “His speech has been clear, forceful and that golden era that he proposes for the United States will enlighten the entire world because it will imply the end of the woke ideology, which is doing so much damage to the planet.” the President stated to Bloomberg this Wednesday.
Of course, in her speech this year, Milei will also question Woke culture and the need to abandon these ideas that only benefit “to the political caste and the parasites who live off the State, and who only want to remain in power and maintain their privileges”.
In the presidential environment they comment, “the world is changing” and the interest that Milei arouses abroad could be an explanation for this change.
Reviews
The head of state’s criticism of the state bureaucracy is well known, criticism that he also conveys to multilateral organizations. For example, they celebrated Trump’s decision to leave the World Health Organization and, in this regard, they admit in the Casa Rosada that ““It is under study whether Argentina will continue to belong to this organization.”
It should be remembered that Javier Milei harshly questioned the handling of the pandemic worldwide and, particularly, the WHO. “Someday we will have to investigate what the WHO did during the pandemic,” they comment.
Also, Trump withdrew the United States from Paris Agreement. In this regard, this membership is also under study and they remember that La Libertad Avanza “never adhered to the Paris Agreement.”
Under the impulse of the Trump administration that has a critical view of these organizations, a high-ranking source from Balcarce 50 commented that “Argentina’s membership in various organizations is under study.” This evaluation will take into account the economic, legal and convenience aspects to continue as a member.
What’s more, just last year in Davos, Milei said this: “How can it be then that, from academia, international organizations, politics and economic theory, an economic system that has not only brought us out of the most extreme poverty to 90% of the world’s population, and it does so increasingly faster, but is it also fair and morally superior?, in defense of the liberal model.
The head of state once again reiterated that “we are working very hard on the possibility of approaching a free trade agreement (with the United States)” and membership of Mercosur should not constitute an obstacle, according to the official vision. I anticipate that “While we are working in parallel with the United States Government to move towards a free trade agreement, we are also working within Mercosur so that it is not an impediment to moving towards free trade.”
Without a doubt, the international interest that President Milei arouses today, plus the explicit support of the United States and businessmen of the stature of Elon Musk, will hopefully have its correlation in investments. For nowthis Wednesday from Davos a businessman announced an investment of US$500 million for Argentina.
