Argentine President Javier Milei delivered a scathing critique of 'woke ideology' at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, denouncing it as a harmful 'epidemic' and 'cancer' that needs to be eradicated.Milei accused the WEF of promoting global progressivism and criticized gender ideology, mass migration, radical feminism, environmentalism, and climate change. He called for a return to traditional Western values and freedom of speech, stressing that Argentina, after years of socialist policies, is now a model of fiscal responsibility.
President of Argentina Javier Milei delivered a scathing condemnation of woke ideology at the World Economic Forum in Davos , Switzerland, on Thursday, describing the “woke mind virus” as an “epidemic that must be cured and the cancer that must be eradicated.”, Milei questioned the organization for having promoted global progressivism and denounced gender ideology, mass migration, radical feminism, environmentalism, and climate change .
The Argentine president stressed that, slowly, an international alliance of nations “that want to be free and believe in the ideas of freedom” has been forming. An “absolute hegemony of the global left-wing in politics, in educational institutions, in the media, in supranational organizations or in forums such as Davos,” he added, has been cracking.
Milei singled out the “mental virus of woke ideology” as a common denominator in countries and institutions that are failing, pointing out that much of the free world still prefers the “comfort of the known, even if it is the wrong path, and insists on applying the recipes of failure.” Milei stated that “wokism” built a single system of thought, supported by different institutions, whose purpose is to penalize dissent through the appropriation and distortion of noble causes.
Milei continued his condemnation of wokism by denouncing “invented” quotas set aside under the doctrine of diversity that undermine the “excellence” of public and educational institutions. The Argentine President also accused wokism of distorting migration by moving away from attracting foreign talent to promote mass migration “not by national interest but by guilt.”
