Milei delivers speech at Madrid Economic Forum

President Javier Milei delivered the closing speech at the Madrid Economic Forum. In his speech, which lasted a little over an hour, he highlighted capitalism over socialism. He also attacked the 'damned social justice' and the 'socialist rats'. 'Charity is not at the point of a gun. It is incredible how charitable one can be when it is someone else's pocket that is suffering'. The Argentine president also expressed his support for his American counterpart, Donald Trump, and criticized Spanish President Pedro Sánchez. Milei reaffirmed his geopolitical commitment to the United States and attacked the '21st-century socialism'. 'Believe me that if Spain had its own Central Bank, instead of the European Central Bank, and with the disgraceful person they have in charge of power, they would have a worse disaster than Argentina's', he said. Regarding Trump, he thanked him for ending the 'filthy scum' of socialism and noted that 'we are not so far from a free Cuba'. 'Fortunately, thanks to the courage and valor of Donald Trump, the filthy scum of 21st-century socialism is falling apart'.
