In a forthcoming interview, Argentine President Javier Milei disclosed his efforts to form a coalition of ten Latin American nations to counteract what he describes as the "cancer of socialism.
".
As reported by Breitbart, Milei's conversation with journalist Andrs Oppenheimer, set to air on January 11, highlights his staunch opposition to socialism and its various "collectivism" forms. "We havent named it yet, but there is already a group of ten countries working on it, and we will continue to move forward," Milei stated.
He elaborated on the bloc's mission to "embrace the ideas of freedom and stand up to the cancer of socialism in its various forms, whether it be socialism of the 21st century, woke socialism, not to mention the more extreme versions."
Milei emphasized the region's apparent awakening from the "nightmare of Socialism of the 21st century," pointing to recent right-wing presidential victories in Latin America. These include Jos Antonio Kast in Chile, Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia, Daniel Noboa in Ecuador, and Nasry Asfura in Honduras, all of whom maintain a favorable stance towards the United States and President Donald Trump.
"People are discovering that it [socialism] is indeed a sham," Milei asserted, criticizing the ideology as a "sentimental, deceitful, misleading narrative" that ultimately leads to failure and impoverishment.
Anonymous sources within the Argentine government confirmed to a local newspaper that while the anti-socialist bloc is still in its infancy, Milei has found common ground with other regional leaders who share his pro-U.S. sentiment. "The government emphasizes that a large part of the group has already signed joint statements not only criticizing in Venezuela, but also supporting U.S. actions in the Caribbean Sea and the elections in Honduras, which were decided in favor of Asfura, Washingtons candidate," the newspaper reported.
The Argentine administration is reportedly "enthusiastic" about the ideological shift occurring across the region. They are keen to highlight commonalities with potential group members, especially with upcoming elections in Brazil and Colombia, both currently under socialist leadership.
Milei's past disagreements with these nations underscore the significance of this potential alliance, as it seeks to bolster conservative values and strengthen ties with the United States.
