During his speech at the World Economic Forum, held in January in Davos (Switzerland), The president attacked the agendas of feminism and the environment that, according to him, socialism has managed to sneak into 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,” said the liberal economist, who concluded that “the only thing that this radical feminist agenda became “is greater intervention by the State to hinder the economic process.”

Likewise, he questioned the “harmful ideas” of those who “maintain that human beings damage the planet and that it must be protected at all costs, even going so far as to advocate for population control or the bloody agenda of abortion.”
However, after that intervention, the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, was consulted in his usual appearances at the Casa Rosada (seat of Government) and highlighted that The president was “focused on what is most urgent”, which is “straightening Argentina”.
“(Repealing the abortion law) is not on the agenda today. With that definition given by the president we suspect that, at some point, it will be debated, but I am only making a guess based on the fragment of the Davos speech,” he stated.
