Argentina President Heads to Davos: Criticizes ‘Socialist Agenda’

Argentina’s President Javier Milei heads to Davos: Criticizes ‘Socialist Agenda’. This marks  his first overseas tour since taking office last month. On the commercial flight, Milei takes selfies with passengers, criticizing the event’s “socialist agenda.”
As he battles Argentina’s severe economic crisis, Milei aims to address annual inflation, build foreign currency reserves, and attract investment with an austerity package.
Despite toning down rhetoric post-election, Milei stands by extreme pledges, including plans to eventually shut the central bank.
During the flight, Milei expresses his goal to “seed ideas of freedom” at Davos, countering what he sees as a socialist agenda for 2030.
Milei’s dramatic style resonates with people in Argentina dissatisfied with the political status quo. He saves over $300,000 by traveling commercial, posting videos on his personal account on X.
Milei’s delegation, including foreign minister Diana Mondino and others, plans to meet with IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva after reaching an agreement on the troubled $44 billion program.
