Javier Milei defends capitalism and criticizes Marxism in school speech

Javier Milei Argentina economy capitalism vs marxism public spending cuts mortgage credit program

Argentine President Javier Milei recently addressed students at ORT school, where he defended capitalism as a system aligned with Judeo-Christian values and described Marxism as a 'satanic theory' that leads to misery and death. He argued that economic prosperity is a consequence of following divine order and moral principles.

During the same event, Milei dismissed rising household delinquency as a political tactic used by the opposition to divide society. He emphasized that his administration will not compromise its ethical values or soften its economic course despite external pressures.

In broader economic news, Minister Luis Caputo announced a program to boost mortgage lending using up to 2 trillion pesos from the ANSES Sustainability Guarantee Fund. Meanwhile, Minister Federico Sturzenegger reported that the national government reduced the public sector workforce by 4,607 agents in July to maintain fiscal surplus.

Legislative tensions remain high, with Senator Daniel Bensusán accusing the government of illegally diverting road maintenance funds for financial speculation, and Deputy Marcela Pagano alleging that the administration is negotiating legislative votes using provincial infrastructure funds.
