Javier Milei participated this Saturday in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), in Washington, United States.
The President delved into concepts of economic theory to debate with the neoclassicalists and, beyond the defense of the DNU and the Omnibus Law, he avoided entering into Argentine internal politics from a distance.
Among his definitions, there were criticisms of the State and social justice, a comparison with Venezuela and a final message of freedom and lions: "We are waking up the whole world."
Milei started with his usual rhetoric: the lion's salute, an allusion to the Guillermo Francella meme and his exclamation of "Long live Liberty, Carajo."
She then immersed herself in concepts to refute neoclassical theory, in the majority of her intervention.
"It was neoclassical theory," she concluded to the applause and ovation of the audience at the meeting of world leaders of conservatism.
He did talk about Argentina to come to the crossroads of State intervention and social justice.
He reviewed the opposition of "the caste" to the mega DNU and the Omnibus Law, after which he showed the public: "They will become aware of the great fight we are fighting."
Below are the 10 strongest definitions and phrases from Milei's speech at CPAC.
León, engolada voice and VLLC: Milei's presentation in Washington
After entering the stage and positioning himself behind the podium, the President responded to the audience's applause.
"Hello everyone..." he started in a sweet voice.
Quickly, he continued with the lyrics of "Panic Show", the La Renga song that characterizes him: "... I am the lion."
Then he paraphrased Guillermo Francella's famous meme in the movie Extermineitors: "Nice day to make the left tremble."
She did not forget his shout: "Long live freedom, damn it."
And she closed with another reason that she uses on networks: "It seems that the neighborhood has enlarged a little."

The president spoke after Donald Trump's speech at CPAC.
"Let's embrace entrepreneurs"
The first section, the longest of his speech, was dedicated to refuting the ideas of neoclassical theory.
He pointed to the concept of "market failures."
There he paused in his theoretical drift to defend the figure of the businessman.
"It is important to note that in the logic of the market a successful businessman is a social benefactor. Because in free enterprise capitalism it is only possible to be successful by offering goods of better quality or better price. And if that businessman is not doing well, he can another will appear that will offer a better price or quality. And that will bankrupt the inefficient ones," that part began.
"Therefore, businessmen are social benefactors. They provide better quality goods at a better price while creating jobs and progress," he continued. And he concluded in this regard: "Let's embrace businessmen, who are the basis of prosperity."
First mention of Argentina: Milei defended the DNU and the Omnibus Law
Minutes later he stopped and introduced the audience to the internal politics of Argentina.
It was a thick line drawing, without mention of the conflict with Chubut and the governors, with only a defense of the DNU and the Omnibus Law that was shipwrecked in Congress.
"When one looks at the amount of regulations, one will understand why Argentina went from being one of the richest countries in the world to being 140th in the ranking," the President presented the problem.
"In our government teams we have so far discovered 38 thousand regulations that hinder the functioning of the economy. Our first two structural measures, the DNU and the Bases Law, propose giving more freedom to Argentines, moving towards structures of more competitive market and above all eliminate corruption from politics," said the libertarian.
He raised some applause.
Milei and a separate paragraph for the "caste"
He hooked the thread of the speech with a new criticism of "caste."
"We encounter great resistance from this decadent system that impoverishes good Argentines in favor of the corrupt caste," he said about the failure of the Omnibus Law.
"The corrupt caste is made up of thieving politicians, who put their privileges above the well-being of Argentines; by prebendary businessmen who do business with corrupt politicians; by corrupt media that are very angry because we eliminated the official guideline; also by the unionists who go about their business against the people; and also by those professionals who are functional with the religion of the State," he listed.
The Creole version of Trump's slogan: "Make Argentina great again"
After presenting this panorama, Milei launched: "They will become aware of the great fight we are fighting."
Applause again.
Pegadito, she echoed Donald Trump's famous slogan.
"We are not going to give up on making Argentina great again," said the libertarian.
Before, in his appearance on stage, the tycoon had praised Milei.
"He is MAGA: 'Make Argentina Great Again,'" smiled the former president of the United States, calling the libertarian a "great guy."
Milei's crusade against social justice: "It is an aberration"
Once again, the president messed with social justice, another slogan embodied in Argentine politics, in this case by Peronism.
"Socialism poses a confrontation between capitalism as individualism against socialist altruism, altruistic with other people's money," he smiled, sparking the audience's hands.
"This aberration is carried out in the name of social justice," he added.
"It is unfair," he explained in his own way, "because it implies unequal treatment before the law. And redistribution implies stealing from one to give to another, so in addition to being violent, it is unfair," Milei deepened.
The birth of populism and the comparison with Venezuela
"When socialist ideas enter and the advent of unlimited democracy enters, populism appears," Milei said to get into another of his favorite topics.
"An example," she proposed.
"We suppose that four wolves and a chicken get together. Now we are going to vote on what to eat tonight," she said.
She was silent.
She smiled again and looked at the audience: "They just ate the chicken."
He explained that the income distribution means that there are 80% of the population below the average income.
"There appears the populist politician who says that we must take from the rich to give to the poor. Not only Venezuela but also Argentina and all Latin American populism," evaluated the libertarian.
Then, he emphasized the fiscal pressure on the food producing sector in Argentina.
He said the country can produce them for "400 million human beings."
And he continued with his interpretation of poverty: "The fiscal pressure on the food production sector is 70%. The State keeps food for 280 million people. Despite this, 5 million Argentines do not have enough to eat." because of the damned State."
Milei and abortion: "They have more stores than McDonald's"
As in Davos, near the end, he referred to abortion.
"Today, having opened the Nixon and Kissinger files, we know that they proposed the murderous agenda of abortion, where, for example, Children Parenthood has more stores than McDonald's in the world," Milei said.
Once again, Milei disbelieves in global warming
He then got into another favorite matter.
"Post-Marximism, faced with its economic defeat, transferred its fighting agenda to other aspects of life. For example, environmentalism, where it proposes the fight of man against nature. They blame human beings for global warming when this is already It has happened four times in the history of the Earth and no human being lived there," Milei said.
She once again drew applause from the audience that attended the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
"To correct this problem, neo-Marxists can't think of anything other than exterminating humans. We should be thinking about colonizing new planets, not thinking about exterminating ourselves," he concluded on that topic.
Milei's call to the young conservatives of the world
"Do not allow socialism to advance. Do not endorse regulation. Do not endorse the idea of market failures. Do not allow the advancement of the murderous agenda. And do not allow yourself to be carried away by the siren song of social justice," was the beginning of the ending of his speech.
It was also the most effusive part of him.

The Argentine president participated in the CPAC and criticized socialism.
"Argentina seemed like a country of sheep condemned to poverty led by socialists and when I began my political career I said that I did not come to guide lambs but to awaken lions," he stated in the traditional coda to his speeches.
"It was like this that every day we woke up more lions and the message of freedom not only led us to the presidency but we are waking up the whole world," continued Milei, already launched and stepping on the voice of live simultaneous translation.
"Therefore, do not give in to the fight for freedom. Long live fucking freedom! Long live fucking freedom! Long live fucking freedom!" he concluded.
Behind him, the translator tried to follow him.
"
Long live freedom, damn it
", he could be heard.
