The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, said in an exclusive interview with CNN in Spanish that South America “woke up from the nightmare of socialism” and confirmed that it is “actively” working to create a bloc of right-wing governments in the region. “We don’t have a name yet, but there is a group of ten countries that we are working with and we will continue to advance”, he stated in an excerpt from the interview given to anchor Andrés Oppenheimer, released on Wednesday (31).
In the conversation, Milei stated that people are discovering that socialism “really is a sham” so that a “group of outlaws can take power and impoverish the population.” “Everywhere it applies it is a failure”, he summarized.
According to the Argentine president, the proposal of the South American right-wing bloc is to “embrace the ideas of freedom and face the cancer of socialism in its different versions, be it 21st century socialism or woke, not to mention the most extreme versions”.
With recent right-wing victories in Latin American countries, such as Chile and Bolivia, the region is undergoing an ideological turn, with six countries governed by the right and six by the left. Until 2023, the left was the majority. Check details on the political map of Latin America.
