This week, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is holding its annual gathering in Davos, Switzerland, where one of the participants is Argentina’s President Javier Milei. Just like last year, Milei drew attention with his speech.
Javier Milei has become known for his disdain for socialism, political correctness, and the left in general. In addition to condemning socialism, in 2024 he also criticized the radical feminist and environmental alarmist agendas that have long dominated the West.
In 2025, he questioned the enthusiasm for issues such as LGBTQ and gender ideology and described political correctness as a cancer that must be eradicated.

In his third appearance in Davos this week, Milei praised U.S. President Donald Trump’s leadership, defended free market capitalism, and condemned socialism. Milei is widely regarded as Trump’s main ally in Latin America, emphasized his close relationship with Washington, and defended Judeo-Christian values.
Milei began his speech by declaring that “Machiavelli is dead” and told the :censored:6:cdd6bbaa89: political and economic elite that “free trade capitalism is the only just system.” He claimed to have implemented 13,500 structural reforms since taking office in December 2023 and argued that “regulation kills achievement” and “stifles growth.” The crisis facing the West is ‘a result of socialism.’
The US leads the way
He argues that socialism ‘always ends badly, terribly badly,’ referring to the damage it has caused in Venezuela through “the establishment of a bloody narco-dictatorship whose terrorist tentacles are spreading across our continent.” However, he now believes the world has started to wake up.
– The best proof of this is what is happening in America with the rebirth of the ideas of freedom. That is why America will be the beacon that reignites the entire Western world, Milei said.
He predicted that Venezuela, after the removal of Nicolás Maduro, will fare “fantastically well.”
– Politicians must stop harassing those who make the world a better place, said Milei.
He concluded by once again raging against what he called the “populist and impoverishing” ideas promoted by the woke movement and “socialist parasites.”
