Milei defends economic program with insults and mockery toward opponents

Argentine President Javier Milei launched a scathing verbal attack on his political opponents and critics, defending his government's economic policies with a barrage of insults and mockery. During a speech at the Council of the Americas conference in Buenos Aires, Milei labeled opponents as "sons of bitches," "corrupt," and "ignorant."

“

We are paying very dearly for the madness of the little green handkerchiefs. Argentina is not reaching the population and birth rate growth that allows for replenishment.

Milei's address, lasting over an hour, also targeted feminists and the legalization of abortion, which he blamed for Argentina's declining birth rate. He argued that this demographic trend has severe economic repercussions, impacting the pension system and human capital. "This passion for murdering children in the womb is costing us in terms of growth and pension matters. Also in human capital," he stated.

The president also addressed economic sectors experiencing stagnation, urging businesses to adapt to new economic conditions. He dismissed reports of widespread company closures during his tenure as a natural reallocation of resources. "If we want to be great? We have to put on long pants. And the corrupt sons of bitches have to go bankrupt," he declared.

Despite facing criticism for his economic program, which he described as the "greatest adjustment in human history," Milei projected robust economic growth. He anticipates Argentina will achieve 8.3% growth by 2027, surpassing the OECD average. Milei attributed the country's past struggles to "doing everything wrong" and expressed his ambition for Argentina to become "the greatest country in the world."

It wasn't a bad world, it's that we did everything wrong.
