President Javier Milei will participate this week in the influential World Economic Forum in Davos, where he is prepared to give a speech in which he will seek to present Argentina as a success story and hold on more than ever to the policies of his American counterpart, Donald Trump. "Milei will seek to position himself as the main reference for Trump in the Southern Cone," sources participating in the organization of this key trip for the Argentine president's aspirations to establish himself as the standard-bearer of "the ideas of freedom" in a South America that is turning towards liberalism, told the Argentine News Agency. In Davos, Milei will seek to consolidate his image before the global financial elite. And in some way, he will seek to present himself as the delegate of his US counterpart, Donald Trump, in southern Latin America. As a prelude, Milei carries the invitation letter from the American to be part of the Peace Board organized by the US president to try to deactivate the conflict in the Gaza Strip. It is expected that the Argentine president will not repeat the mistake he made last year, when he used the Davos platform to attack people who "wave the flag of sexual diversity" and accused those who spread gender ideology of being "pedophiles". He also stated that "feminism, equity, gender ideology, climate change, abortion and immigration are all heads of the same monster, whose purpose is to justify the advance of the state." There is doubt as to whether Milei will return with an "anti-woke" speech, albeit more washed down, or if he will directly leave aside the thorny issue. Instead, it is expected that the Argentine president will express his alignment with Trump and his support for the attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro. In that scenario, Milei will be favored by the fact that in the Southern Cone, some elections and transfers of power in 2025 gave him the good news that he will have allies: José Jerí (Peru), Rodrigo Paz Pereira (Bolivia), Daniel Noboa (Ecuador), and the elected José Antonio Kast (Chile), who will take office in March.
