Grabois defends Thiel meeting, warns of technocratic elites

Argentine Congressman Juan Grabois has reiterated his defense of a June meeting with tech magnate Peter Thiel, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to his core principles. Grabois stated that the meeting, which occurred on June 3, was facilitated by Vatican officials with whom he has a long-standing working relationship.

“

I will always defend the same interests.

Grabois explained the discussion centered on Pope Leo XIV's new encyclical and the need to understand the agenda of "technocratic elites." He expressed concern that these groups see opportunities in Argentina to implement projects not feasible in other countries, including the United States. He warned of an "accelerationist" concept aiming to remove controls and create "free zones" for experimentation with potentially unsafe technologies.

“

This is a meeting that was arranged by people from the Holy See of Rome, with whom I worked for many years with Francis.

The lawmaker cautioned against a growing trend of delegating sovereignty to technocratic corporations, which he described as a plutocracy aiming to govern and shape humanity's future. Thiel, an influential figure in Silicon Valley and an ally of Donald Trump, relocated to Buenos Aires in April. He previously met with President Javier Milei.

Here there is a vision from the technocratic sectors that they have the opportunity to do what in other countries, including the United States, they cannot do.
