Agustín Laje replied to a criticism that is only repeated by a small and marginalized sector of the right: the idea that Javier Milei is not fighting the cultural battle. In the face of that absurd accusation, Laje decided to do what he does best: put the facts on the table and organize what has been happening since December 2023. His thread, which quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), goes point by point through the changes the government has achieved in less than two years.
LIFE AND FAMILY LEVEL
Laje starts with the basics, the defense of life and family; there, the change is structural. Among many other advances, the Ministry of Women was closed, gender ideology was dismantled from the State, the hormonal treatment and mutilation of minors were banned, and the state purchase of abortion drugs was halted. At the same time, the First Thousand Days Plan was strengthened, essential for protecting mothers, with a 500% increase.
There were also symbolic gestures that are not minor: Casa Rosada celebrates the Day of the Unborn Child, the ESI content was reviewed to remove political bias, and the transfers of prisoners for "gender change" ended. For Laje, this set of measures marks the first real setback of cultural progressivism within the Argentine State.
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS LEVEL
One of the most forceful chapters of the thread is the international one. According to Laje, Argentina once again stood its ground as it had not done in decades: it defended life from conception at the UN, OAS, and the Human Rights Council; it imposed the biological concept of woman in the face of pressure from the gender lobby; and it flatly rejected euphemisms such as "sexual and reproductive rights".
In addition, the country withdrew from Agenda 2030, the Pandemic Agreement, the Pact for the Future, stopped resolutions that enabled child pornography, denounced wokism in Davos and was one of the first to warn about the persecution of Christians worldwide. According to Laje, in this area Milei achieved something that almost no president had accomplished: breaking the global progressive consensus.
STATE IDEOLOGICAL APPARATUSES LEVEL
In the context of an unprecedented dismantling since the return of democracy, Laje highlights: the closure of INADI, the shutdown of Télam, the end of official advertising, audits of CONICET, and the start of mechanisms to report indoctrination in schools, which have already received more than 2,000 reports this year.
The change also reached the cultural front: the former CCK was renamed "Palacio Libertad" and the State stopped supporting militant artistic collectives that lived off public funds. For Laje, recovering that space and cutting those privileges better summarizes than anything the end of the Kirchnerist cultural machinery.
