President Javier Milei was again at the center of controversy this Thursday during his speech at the 172nd anniversary of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange. With his blunt style, he defended the bill on the inviolability of private property, targeted the opposition, and clashed harshly with a spectator who repeatedly interrupted him.
“It is clear that those who oppose the fierce defense of property rights are Argentina’s decline,” Milei fired, amid applause from the business leaders present. The ruling party had to postpone the debate on the bill in the Senate due to resistance to the chapter on land foreign ownership and a lack of allies.
The president held nothing back: “Historically, different governments have dedicated themselves to robbing Argentines and violating that right. But at the same time, they have to finance investment, and whoever invests must be able to capture the results.”
The tensest moment came when a spectator began interrupting his speech. While Milei criticized populism, the man shouted “like now.” The President immediately replied: “No, now we made the adjustment, which the damned populists left as a ticking bomb.”
Faced with constant shouts, Milei doubled down: “Yes, I will finish this term, be reelected, and stay four more years. And I’ll give you some additional bad news: we are laying the foundations for 100 years of liberalism, so if you don’t like it, go to Cuba.”
The exchange escalated when the President, visibly annoyed, said: “For almost 100 years we have systematically shat on private property. But what can we expect from parasitic people who have never done a damn business in their lives? The parasite lives by expropriating.”
Then, addressing the interrupter, he snapped: “Hey, why don’t you rent a hall and go talk? Back when I wasn’t president, I gave lectures to one thousand, two thousand, and even ten thousand people. Have a career if you like talking so much, kuka.”
Milei also referred to the economy: “Do you think I’m going to reverse 100 years of decline in two and a half years? There’s a lot left, but we are on the right path. Those who talk as if we had inherited Switzerland: 30% of formal jobs were below the poverty line.”
The appearance marked the return of a president to the traditional Stock Exchange event, as Alberto Fernández did not attend during his term. Business leaders, while supporting fiscal balance and pro-market reforms, demand concrete measures to improve production, credit, and consumption.
Prior to the speech, Stock Exchange President Adelmo Gabbi highlighted: “Trust is the true asset of a society. It does not appear in balance sheets, but it opens the doors to progress.”
