Javier Milei congratulates the United States for July 4th: 'The envy of all oppressed peoples'

Argentine President Javier Milei extended congratulations to the United States on its Independence Day, marking 250 years since the nation's founding.

“

The prosperity of the U.S. is the envy of all oppressed peoples, but it pales in comparison to the freedom its citizens enjoy and is, in fact, a mere consequence of its preservation.

In a message posted on X, Milei stated, “The prosperity of the U.S. is the envy of all oppressed peoples, but it pales in comparison to the freedom its citizens enjoy and is, in fact, a mere consequence of its preservation.” He highlighted that 250 years ago, a group of men established a republic based on the revolutionary idea that all individuals are equal before God and possess inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property.

Milei contrasted this founding principle with the ideas of communism, asserting that the United States stands as its absolute opposite. He drew a parallel between the founding aspirations of both Argentina and the U.S., describing them as liberal democracies tasked with protecting individual freedoms and their outcomes.

“

A democracy liberal, whose duty is to protect the freedom of the people and their fruits. Therefore, those who do not agree with this basic principle cannot call themselves true patriots.

He further argued that those who disagree with this fundamental principle cannot be considered true patriots, and anyone who attacks this idea is a “traitor to the homeland.”

“

Therefore, whoever attacks that idea is considered 'a traitor to the homeland.'
