Javier Milei Delivers Fiery Anti-'Woke' Speech at Davos

The Argentine president criticized 'woke ideology' and promoted libertarian values, aligning himself with allies like Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Javier Milei, Argentina's libertarian president, gave a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, condemning 'woke ideology' as a 'mental virus' and 'cancer' that needs to be eradicated.
Milei framed his views as part of a growing 'international alliance' of leaders advocating for libertarian and nationalist policies, citing figures like Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán.
He criticized feminism, climate activism, and gender ideology, while also calling for a reduction in the size of governments and supranational organizations.
Milei defended Elon Musk, who faced criticism for a controversial gesture at a recent event, dismissing accusations as unjust attacks by 'woke' critics.
The speech, delivered ahead of Donald Trump's anticipated address, drew mixed reactions from attendees, with some praising its boldness and others expressing concern over its divisive rhetoric.
