Javier Milei will receive the Escuela de Salamanca Prize in Madrid

Javier Milei, president of Argentina

The award will be presented by Club de los Viernes, and the ceremony will be held in the Spanish city

The Argentine president Javier Milei will be honored next Thursday, June 13, with the Liberty Award "School of Salamanca," granted annually by the Club de los Viernes.

The ceremony will take place at 5:00 p.m. at Casa de La Rioja, in the city of Madrid, and will feature the participation of leading figures from the academic and business sectors, representatives of civil society, and prominent advocates of liberal thought.

This award, presented by a citizen platform for liberal ideas and action founded in Spain, aims to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the promotion of liberty, whether in its political, economic, or cultural dimension.

In this edition, the recipient will be Javier Milei, whom the organization considers the driving force behind a genuine "liberal revolution" in Argentina, after years marked by state interventionism, chronic inflation, and populist policies.

According to the Club de los Viernes, Milei deserves this distinction for "achieving what seemed impossible: bringing an openly liberal program to power in a country devastated by statism and structural corruption."

The Argentine president Javier Milei will be honored next Thursday, June 13, with the Liberty Award "School of Salamanca," granted annually by the Club de los Viernes.

For the organization, the Argentine leader represents not only a political figure but also a public intellectual committed to the cultural battle, which he has waged from the classroom, through his publications, and his presence in the media, frequently mentioning thinkers such as Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, or Jesús Huerta de Soto in widely viewed forums.

According to the organizers, the award highlights not only his reform plan but also his conviction in defending a philosophy that promotes reducing the State, protecting private property, individual liberty, and the functioning of a market economy. "Milei has demonstrated that it is possible to resist the collectivist consensus and ignite the flame of liberty from the pinnacle of power," they stated.

The Club de los Viernes emphasizes that this recognition goes beyond the political sphere and acquires a symbolic and cultural dimension: "We reward the audacity of someone who, without complexes, has said that the State is the enemy of liberty when it ceases to be a referee and becomes the owner of our lives," they note.

They also highlight Javier Milei's role as a driving force behind a new liberal awakening in Ibero-America, in a context marked by intense ideological disputes worldwide.

The organization also clarifies that the award is not based on partisan ties, since the Club is not a political party, but rather a network of thought aimed at generating influence on public opinion and confronting the advance of statism.

Its purpose, they indicate, is to "promote debate, individual responsibility, and limits on state power in defense of citizens' liberties."
