During his presentation at the G20 Rio de Janeiro Summitthe president Javier Milei anticipated that in the coming decades there will be a “fiscal and deregulatory race”, which he compared to the space race of the 20th century. “Countries that safeguard the freedom of individuals will prosper. Those who release the productive forces. “Those who reward innovation instead of punishing it,” he assured and maintained that Argentina assumed the “commitment to be at the forefront of that race.”
“If we want to eradicate poverty, the solution is to get out of the way,” he said.
Furthermore, during his speech he announced his support for the presidents’ declaration although he made it clear that he will not subscribe to certain points related to the United Nations 2030 Agenda. The president remarked that “for some time” the organization “has been at fault with its original purpose“, which he noted is “to cooperate voluntarily, as equals and autonomously, to safeguard the basic rights of people“.
In this regard, he argued: We have failed to comply with the mandate of voluntary international cooperation between equals. Today, what governs the international community is a taxation scheme. Not one of symmetrical and autonomous cooperation.” Along these lines, he considered that “those who dare to have their own perspective are punished” and warned: “This means that global governance mechanisms do not offer a channel of conversation between peers. They offer only two paths: submission or rebellion.”
At the same time, he added that “many of the policies insistently promoted by the international community violate the most basic rights of the citizens of the world, which are the right to life, liberty and private property,” he said, pointing out some of the the slogans that promotes the G20 documentlike the restriction on access to social networks, gender equality and taxes on the super-rich.
Javier Milei pointed out against “global governance”: “It is the label of this failure”
The President considered that the “concept of ‘global governance’ has become the label for this failure” and warned that it is “synonymous with impositions of all kinds on nations and their citizens.”
“For us, consensus always starts from healthy disagreement and vigorous debate. But today, the disagreement scandalizes, and the debate is neither vigorous nor healthy. There is no sovereign equality that allows this, and, consequently, the international regime becomes a corset that suffocates us”.
Milei questioned those who accused him of “promoting hate speech, anti-democratic speech or being a danger to human rights” and assured that these accusations were “merely for having a dissident opinion.”
Argentina signed the declaration of presidents partially in dissent and distanced itself from those points linked to the Agenda 2030. The libertarian justified and listed: “If it is about restricting freedom of opinion, don’t count on us. If it is about transgressing the property rights of individuals through taxes and regulations, don’t count on us. If it is about limit the right of countries to freely exploit their natural resources, do not count on us. If it comes to inventing privileges based on sex, race, class or any minority, and denying the principle of equality before the law, do not count on us. “If it comes to imposing greater state intervention in the economy, don’t count on us,” he concluded.
