In a fiery speech lasting nearly an hour before a crowd of libertarian supporters at the Derecha Fest, President Javier Milei delivered an impressive address that left a wealth of statements summarizing his ideological vision, his diagnosis of the country, and the importance of the battle against the "State" and "the caste."
From Córdoba, Milei not only reaffirmed his administration but also called for a cultural battle for Argentina's future. These were some of his most notable statements.
Milei's best quotes at Derecha Fest
"Here we are today, together, having accomplished in just a year and a half the best government of the last 100 years," Milei declared, in a statement that was met with ovation.
"We made it clear through actions, from the very beginning, that we truly came to change things at their root." With this statement, Milei defended his administration's structural reforms, in contrast to traditional politics.
"The political caste stole your hope," targeting the heart of social discontent, he accused the political class of having impoverished the country and destroyed the dreams of entire generations.
"We are at war." For Milei, this is not just another administration, but a cultural and institutional war for freedom and against the decline of socialism.
"Rome doesn't pay traitors." Without naming her, this was a direct allusion to the traitorous Vice President Victoria Villarruel.
"We inherited a State that, ultimately, hated its citizens and, as a result, earned their hatred." This is how he defined the state apparatus received in December 2023.
"The left infiltrated all institutions to shape them as it pleased." Milei denounced the left's ideological hegemony that dominates, for example, universities, media, and even culture.
"Equality before the law was replaced by positive discrimination for social groups." Milei harshly criticized gender and affirmative action policies, which he considers "a way to fragment society."
