Argentina’s Milei Attacks “Bloodthirsty Abortion Agenda” of Globalists at Davos

By

NEW YORK, January 19 (C-Fam) At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week, Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei, delivered a blistering attack against radical feminism and climate alarmism.

“They claim that we human beings destroy the planet and that it must be protected at all costs. They go as far as advocating for population control mechanisms and the bloodthirsty abortion agenda,” Milei said in a 20-minute speech warning against a “neo-Marxist takeover of the West” by socialist forces.

Milei argued that after the “monumental failure” of communism in the twentieth century, socialists were forced to change their agenda. They could no longer directly argue that governments should control all social and economic activity, so they began to use climate alarmism and gender ideology as tools to generate social strife and gain power and control over societies and economic life. As a result of this social strife, Milei argued, most political options available today are just variants of socialism.

Milei called radical feminism “ridiculous and anti-natural” and that it has been noxious for society because it unnecessarily promotes conflict between men and women, who are already entitled to equality under the laws of Western countries.

“The only thing that radical feminism has added is a greater intervention of the state to muddy economic processes. It has given jobs to gender bureaucrats who don’t add anything to society. They created gender ministries and international organizations dedicated to promoting this agenda,” Milei said.

Milei famously eliminated Argentina’s environmental and gender ministries shortly after taking power.

“We have come here to invite the other countries in the West to take back the path to prosperity,” he told the Davos elites, warning them that Argentina’s fall from the world’s largest economy at the beginning of the twentieth century to one of the poorest was caused by the country’s embrace of socialism.

He also encouraged entrepreneurs to keep fighting to create value for societies, calling them “benefactors” of humanity. “Don’t let yourselves be intimidated by the ruling political elite and the parasites who live off the state,” he said.

Milei identifies as a “radical libertarian” and at the same time calls himself pro-life. This might strike American libertarians as odd. Some but not all libertarians in the United States often say they are against any abortion regulation. But Milei has argued on multiple occasions that the protection of life is a foundational element of libertarian ideology, alongside freedom and the defense of private property.

In an interview with conservative television host Tucker Carlson last year, Milei said, “Philosophically speaking, I am in favor of the right to life. Beyond that, there is a scientific justification to be had. It’s the fact that life begins at conception, it’s at that very instant that a new being begins to evolve with its own unique DNA.”

In the same interview, Millei called abortion was “murder.” “While it’s true that women have the right to their own bodies, the child in a woman’s womb is not her body,” Milei explained, adding, “That makes abortion a murder, enabled and aggravated by a power imbalance against a child that has no way to defend itself.
