The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, praised this Wednesday, during a speech at the World Economic Forum, held in Davos, Switzerland, the victories of conservative and center-right candidates on the American continent and stated that “the world has begun to wake up”.
In the last elections held in countries on the American continent, conservative and center-right candidates won the leadership of nations such as Chile, Honduras and Bolivia, while, in Argentina, Milei himself managed to consolidate his political base in the legislative elections
According to Milei, the advance of these political forces in the Americas is the main evidence of a new ideological cycle. Milei compared the tone adopted this year with her previous participations in the same forum. According to him, in 2024 he had warned that “the West is in danger” for having adhered to “increasing doses of socialism”, while in 2025 he said he had described what he called “mental parasites” spread by the left. This time, he stated, he returned to Davos to present what he defined as “good news” about the change in political direction in the Americas.
“2026 is the year in which I bring you good news: the world has begun to awaken. The best proof of this is what is happening in America with the rebirth of the ideas of freedom”, declared the Argentine president.
According to Milei, the American continent will play a central role in this process. He stated that “America will be the beacon of light that will light up the entire West again”, adding that the continent will be able to “pay its civilizational debt” by resuming values that, according to him, have their origins in Greek philosophy, Roman law and Judeo-Christian values.
The Argentine president said he believes in a more favorable scenario for the West, as long as there is a return to the ideological foundations that he associates with freedom.
“We have a better future ahead of us, but this better future exists if we return to the roots of the West, that is, returning to the ideas of freedom,” he stated. In closing, Milei declared: “May God bless the West, may the forces of heaven accompany us and long live freedom.”
