We applaud Argentinian President @JMilei's fierce condemnation of socialism and staunch advocacy for freedom and democracy. To quote Ronald Reagan: "Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it.".
The British newspaper THE TELEGRAPH described Milei as "an example to follow" for England, because he is carrying out "his own version of the Thatcher-Reagan revolution", rejecting "the disastrous legacies of socialism and Peronism": "His medicine works."
