President Javier Milei assured that loves being a mole within the State working to destroy it during a report given to an American news site called “The Free Press”, which describes itself as “a new media company built on the ideals that were once the foundation of great journalism: honesty, opinionated and fierce independence.”
“Do you like being the skunk at the garden party?” the journalist asked. Bari Weiss during the interview recorded last week in the United States, during the last presidential trip that included an exhibition at Stanford. “I love being the mole within the State, I am the one who destroys the State from within“Milei acknowledged.
And he elaborated: “It is like being infiltrated into the enemy’s ranks, the reform of the State has to be carried out by someone who hates the State and I hate the State so much that I am willing to put up with all these types of lies, slander, insults, both about myself and my loved ones. dearest, who are my sister and my dogs and my parents in order to destroy the State”.
It is not the first time that the President refers in controversial terms to the role of the State. In fact, almost a month ago the Argentine president defined as “heroes” those who flee dollars from the country because they manage to avoid “the clutches of the State.”
The North American media highlighted in its chronicle of the report that these types of statements transform Milei into an unusual figure. “In a world of liberals and conservatives, he is neither of those things, he has ultra-liberal economic views but also right-wing populist rhetoric with slogans in favor of deregulating the arms market and legalizing the organ trade.” The definition refers to slogans that arose during the 2023 electoral campaign, but that the Argentine head of state later clarified and never promoted since he occupied a role in power.
In another section of the dialogue, Milei defined himself as a person who comes from “an apocalyptic future to avoid it.” “Something like a Terminator“, he joked in reference to the character immortalized by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1984, a kind of human-robot that travels in time to fulfill a mission.
In that sense, the President highlighted that from his role at the head of the Executive Branch he is waging a cultural battle against socialism and the left.
“For example, in my country and in other countries there are people on the left, even with Jewish origins, who are on the side of terrorists like Hamas and even condemn the government of Israel for defending itself, for making use of its legitimate defense. And that is a consequence of the fact that we libertarians have not fought the cultural battle,” he exemplified.
The president stressed that he maintains a high image despite carrying out the largest economic adjustment in history. He also risks that if there were elections today, he would be in a position to win with 60% of the votes, which in his graphic view represents a change of era. He also appreciates that his Economy Minister, Luis “Toto” Caputo, is “applauded” every time he appears in public. “It is an absolutely painful situation, but people interpreted and assimilated that all the shortcuts of populism and socialism do not work, and that is an element to be very optimistic,” he confides.
In that context, he acknowledged that he dreams of turn Argentina “into a paradise”.
“We are not only fighting this battle on the economic and political level, we have not abandoned the cultural battle and all this is going to generate a situation where Argentina grows very strongly again.“, forecast. And he explained: “One of the things we are looking for is for Argentina to become one of the four artificial intelligence poles in the world because Europe is super regulated and therefore cannot expand; to the United States with an absolutely fearful, lukewarm, gray situation, and to China that you don’t know what it is doing. So we are proposing to these large companies that they come and settle in Argentina and that we recreate paradise from Argentina. Not only are the Argentines who left going to return, but also other talented people from around the world are going to come to Argentina because we are going to make Argentina a paradise”.
