The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, delivered a strong speech this Tuesday at the 79th General Assembly of the UN in which he harshly criticized the organization for including countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran in its Human Rights Council.
Milei labeled these countries as "bloody dictatorships" and denounced that they should not be part of an organization that defends human rights.
"In this house, which claims to defend human rights, they allowed the entry of bloody dictatorships like Cuba and Venezuela into the Human Rights Council without the slightest reproach. In this same house, which claims to defend women's rights, the entry of countries that punish women for showing skin, like Iran, is permitted in the committee against the discrimination of women," the president stated, immediately generating a wave of reactions in the chamber.
In addition to his criticism of the UN, Milei attacked the 2030 Agenda, describing it as an imposition of a "socialist" agenda and labeling the UN as a "Leviathan with multiple tentacles."
During his intervention, he made his position of distancing clear regarding the international policies promoted by the organization, emphasizing that his government would not be complicit in these agendas.
Milei's speech generated criticism like that of the former Chief of Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, who stated that the statements at the UN could create unnecessary diplomatic tensions.
Others, for their part, applauded the speech and said that Milei was "the best president of Argentina, with his two balls he has said what the rats of the UN really need to hear."
"Javier Milei has just dismantled the progressive agenda of the United Nations and, in the process, wants to create a freedom agenda; it is the best vote in history," said another user.
