The ceremony took place during a bilateral summit between the two leaders, followed by Milei’s appearance at Atreju, a convention hosted by Italy’s far-right party.
In a fiery speech, Milei doubled down on his anti-establishment rhetoric, touting his unconventional approach to politics and economics. “Against all predictions from analysts and professional politicians, they thought we would only last a few months and weren’t capable of governing,” Milei declared, referencing his one-year anniversary as President. “they had to throw away all their manuals.”
milei,who has positioned himself as an outsider and economist rather than a traditional politician,emphasized his disdain for the political establishment. “I’ve always despised politicians for the damage they’ve done to my country,” he stated.
Addressing a receptive audience, Milei highlighted his unconventional campaign strategies, claiming they resonated with voters who were tired of traditional politics. “When I won the election last year, all the formulas and recipes of professional political interaction failed,” he said. “Most people chose something different. I have my own recipes, which aren’t politically correct or very professional, but they’ve worked so far.”
Milei’s speech, however, received limited attention back home. A recording of the event on the Argentine government’s YouTube channel garnered only 332 views.
during his address, Milei invoked the legacy of Vladimir Lenin, a figure he described as “a leftist crackpot,” while acknowledging the revolutionary leader’s insights. “As Lenin said, and even though he was a leftist crackpot, he said interesting things and we have to listen to him,” Milei remarked. ”Without revolutionary theory,there can be no revolutionary movement.”
The granting of Italian citizenship to Milei and his sister comes amidst speculation about his future political ambitions. While Milei has not explicitly stated his intentions, the possibility of residing in Italy adds another layer of intrigue to his already unconventional political career.
