President Javier Milei celebrated the 36th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and took the opportunity to publish a reflection on socialist ideology worldwide.
With his own cover of Nino Bravo's song "Libre," the head of state wrote this Sunday his take on the historical event, which he titled "A reflection on the fall of the Berlin Wall/Socialism."
Through his X account, the leader expressed: "On a day like today, but in 1989, the sinister Berlin Wall fell, and with it, the lie of real socialism."
"In its fall, the failure of the socialist utopia was exposed, and its most important lesson is that well-being and justice are two sides of the same coin," he stated, and added: "Therefore, anything that stems from despicable values such as envy, hatred, resentment, the removal of freedom, injustice, and murder (the underlying values in any socialist experiment) will not end well."
According to Milei, the socialist ideology "will only bring misery and violence in its wake," so he asked to embrace "the ideas of freedom and the values of the West (the Judeo-Christian culture)."
"Well-being will come as a byproduct, in the hand of the spontaneous order and the creativity of individuals. LONG LIVE FREEDOM, DAMN IT!" he concluded.
To illustrate his point, the libertarian used a clip from his mini-recital with the Presidential Band at the Movistar Arena, singing the emblematic song by Nino Bravo, although he made a mistake.
Although there is a myth that the lyrics to the song "Libre" refer to the story of Peter Fechter, a construction worker who was a victim of the fall of the Berlin Wall that separated the two Germanies, Pablo Herrero, one of the composers, clarified that the song was born from the lack of freedom in the Francoist Spain of the time.
