He did not say which ones participate in the initiative. To CNN, the president said that the project will continue to advance. Milei stated that the bloc intends to confront what he called the “cancer of socialism”, including “21st century socialism” and the “woke” movement, a term used by conservatives to criticize agendas defended by the left. Asked about recent victories by right-wing and center-right candidates in the region, such as José Kast in Chile, Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia and Daniel Noboa in Ecuador, Milei said that South America was waking up. “It seems like the region has woken up from the nightmare of 21st century socialism. People are discovering that it is effectively a sham.” See the videos that are trending on g1 The Argentine president cited alignment with leaders in the region, such as Santiago Peña, from Paraguay, Nayib Bukele, from El Salvador, and Nasry Asfura, recently elected in Honduras. Outside of Latin America, Milei has already expressed interest in strengthening ties with leaders such as Donald Trump, from the United States, Benjamin Netanyahu, from Israel, Viktor Orbán, from Hungary, and Giorgia Meloni, from Italy. During Meloni’s visit to Argentina, in November 2024, Milei expressed his intention to create “an alliance of free nations, united against tyranny and misery”. Milei is expected to participate in the World Economic Forum, which takes place between January 19th and 23rd, in Davos, Switzerland.
