Argentine President Javier Milley told the World Economic Forum on Thursday that the "global hegemony" of left-wing politics and ideology was "beginning to collapse."

"The global hegemony of what once seemed like a 'woke' left in politics, educational institutions, media, supranational organizations and even forums such as Davos has begun to collapse," said right-wing leader Mire, speaking in Davos, Switzerland in 2023. Business and political leaders.

The divisive term “woke” often refers to support for social justice issues and political activism.

The Argentinian politician, who has a profile similar to that of US President Donald Trump, said he has been forming alliances with other like-minded figures and leaders.

“Over the course of the year, I found allies in this fight for the cause of freedom in every corner of the world, from the amazing (tech billionaire) Elon Musk to the fierce Italian lady (Prime Minister) Giorgia Meloni, from (El Salvador President Nayib) Bukele to Hungary Viktor Orban,” he also mentioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin · Benjamin Netanyahu Netanyahu and President Trump.

"Slowly, an international alliance is forming between all countries who want freedom and believe in the idea of ​​freedom," he said.

Milley's comments represent a deep divide between leaders on the left and right of the global political spectrum, with the two camps making little effort in recent years to overcome or understand each other's ideological differences and positions.

After taking office on Monday, President Trump signed a series of executive orders that reverse policies enacted by his predecessor, Joe Biden, such as pledges to combat climate change. Democrat Joe Biden did the same with Trump's policies when he succeeded the first Republican president to the White House in 2021.

Mire said he came to Davos to warn that "the battle is not yet won."

"While hope has been rekindled, it is our moral obligation and responsibility to dismantle the ideological edifice of pathological wokeism," he said.

Argentina's president caused a stir at the World Economic Forum last year when he called on global leaders to reject socialism and instead embrace "free enterprise capitalism" to end world poverty.

Milley warned in last year's keynote speech that "the Western world is in danger", saying "those who are supposed to be defending Western values ​​are being co-opted by a worldview that leads inevitably to socialism, and thus to poor."

Milay, a liberal, is credited with restoring confidence in Argentina's sluggish economy by implementing policies such as cutting public sector spending and energy subsidies. Inflation has also fallen from one of the world's highest annual inflation rates of 289.4% in April to 117.8% as of December 2024, according to the country's central bank.

However, critics of Mr. Millay's austerity plans and cuts to government spending say poverty has increased during his tenure.
