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."
"History has repeatedly shown that whoever prevails in culture ultimately prevails in the political arena." With this statement, Milei justified his combative approach in the so-called cultural battle.
"We liberals neglected the battle of ideas, and left the door open to the scourge of the left." A self-criticism that also served as a call for permanent ideological activism.
"We had neither money nor machinery; only our word and our cell phones." Recalling his electoral campaign, he celebrated the role of social media as a tool for citizen empowerment against the establishment.
"In every square, in every city council, on every radio wave and every television channel in the country, there must be someone defending and promoting the ideas of freedom." With this statement, Milei highlighted the importance of the cultural battle to sustain the ideas of freedom in the future.
"Criticizing the model that lifted 90% of humanity out of extreme poverty is nonsense from any perspective." In a defiant tone, he defended capitalism as a system of progress and dismantled the socialist narrative.
"People do not even want to see them in trading cards." Alluding to the Kirchnerists, Milei anticipated a "surprising" electoral result in October: "That's why many will be surprised by the results."
"They want us to be a country of poor and subjugated people; we want a prosperous and free one," Milei compared the model of country sought by Kirchnerism and the model of country his administration defends.
"I would like to pause to recognize La Derecha Diario, which went from being a digital newspaper created by two teenagers with great effort, to being the most widely read newspaper in all of Latin America in just a few years," with this statement, the president recognized an important media outlet in the cultural battle and one that debunks the left's fake news.
Finally, the president reaffirmed a classic slogan: "May Argentina and Argentines be great again," and added: "This is just beginning and it is up to us to make Argentina great again."
With an epic tone, Milei concluded: "This is the greatest feat since independence: freeing the Argentine people from the tyranny of the omnipresent State."
