During his speech in World Economic Forumheld in January at Davos (Swiss), the president attacked the feminist and environmental agendas that, according to him, socialism managed to infiltrate international organizations.

“The first of these new battles was the ridiculous and unnatural fight between man and woman. Libertarianism already establishes equality between the sexes“, indicated the ultraliberal economist, who concluded that”The only thing this radical feminist agenda has become is greater state intervention to hinder the economic process.”.

Likewise, he questioned the “harmful ideas” Whose is it “They claim that human beings harm the planet and that it must be protected at all costs, even going so far as to defend population control or the bloody agenda of abortion.”.

However, after this intervention, the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorniwas consulted in his usual appearances on Pink House (government headquarters) and highlighted that the president was “focused on the most urgent“, what is it “straightened Argentina”.

“(Repeal the abortion law) Today is not on the agenda. With this definition that the president gave, we suspect that at some point it will be debated, but I’m just making an educated guess based on the fragment of the Davos speech”, he stated.
