"It's an unfair aberration": Before more than 1,500 spectators, Javier Milei crossed over to Peronism in Paraguay.

During his tour of Paraguay, President Javier Milei participated in the Industrial Entrepreneurs Forum, where he delivered a speech against Peronism and former PresidentCristina Kirchner . After presenting the 2026 Budget proposal, Milei traveled to Paraguay to meet with his counterpart, Santiago Peña Nieto , and participate in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) event.

"There is nothing more aberrant and unjust than social justice," the Argentine president declared during his speech at the Entrepreneurs Forum. " Social justice is envy, more rhetoric. They cannot accept that they are resentful ," Milei added, asserting that "the only ideas that bring prosperity to countries are those of freedom." " We are backed by empirical science ," he emphasized.

Milei 's speech was marked by the "cultural battle" against Peronism, framed within a fragile political moment for the ruling party due to recent corruption scandals, the decline in economic indicators, and a resounding Peronist victory in the legislative elections in the Province of Buenos Aires . With just over a month to go until the national elections, in which La Libertad Avanza hopes to expand its representation in the National Government, the president hopes to win back his voter base, disaffected by recent events.

In this regard, Milei polarized the main opposition by using road construction as an example. " There are 40,000 kilometers of national highways, and we are entering into a bidding process for 10,000 kilometers in sectors that are profitable. Therefore, the project will be resolved through the private sector; and those that are not profitable will receive a grant for whoever provides a better solution. We will have a market-like mechanism," she stated.

Milei then fired back at Cristina Kirchner, saying, "It's much easier to have the Highway Department and say we're going to build a lot of roads like the previous government did, and as a result, end up with someone wearing an electronic anklet because of all the money they stole from the roads."

Hours earlier, the president had participated in the event organized by CPAC, where he reiterated the principles of his recent speeches: campaign-style dialogue, confronting Peronism. In that speech, Milei sought to focus the campaign on "fighting" Peronism, leaving aside the other forces. "Third ways are inconclusive. There can be no middle ground in this project. Any moderate option is functional to the decadent system we are trying to leave behind ," he stated.
