In recent hours, Defense Minister Luis Petri defended President Javier Milei against the criticism received for his speech at the Davos Forum, stating that "gender violence also affects men." Petri mentioned that during Alberto Fernández's government, femicides increased and that 70% of homicides in Argentina have male victims.
In statements to the program "Pan y circo" hosted by Jonatan Viale on Radio Rivadavia, Petri emphasized that predominantly the victims of murders are men and stressed that gender violence also affects them. He highlighted that the libertarian project is based on respecting each person's individual project.
Regarding Milei's speech in Davos, the Defense Minister noted that the president attacked radical gender ideology. He emphasized the idea that gender violence is not exclusive to women, but that men are also affected.
Petri's position is based on the idea of equity and respect for all individuals, regardless of their gender. The minister stressed the importance of considering all victims of violence, regardless of sex.
