Buenos Aires, Argentina – President Javier Milei has boldly declared that Argentina is on an unstoppable path to becoming “the freest country in the world by 2030,” a vision he shared during an exclusive interview with renowned journalist and businessman Mario Nawfal. The President detailed the profound and rapid reforms that have radically transformed Argentina’s economic, political, and social landscape since his inauguration.

Nawfal opened the interview by painting a stark picture of Argentina’s dire state before Milei took office, characterized by rampant inflation, economic stagnation, soaring insecurity, and pervasive corruption. President Milei then meticulously outlined how his structural reform plan directly tackled these formidable challenges. Within his first 30 days, his administration achieved the fastest fiscal adjustment in modern history, slashing public spending by an unprecedented 7% of GDP. This decisive action involved closing superfluous ministries, eliminating state funding for public media, dismantling “absurd” organizations, and streamlining the public workforce.

Addressing the nation’s crippling inflation, President Milei proudly announced its reduction from a projected 17,000% to a single digit in less than a year. He attributed this monumental success to aggressive public spending cuts and the complete elimination of the fiscal deficit without incurring new debt, asserting that “inflation is not the problem. The problem is the State.” Further validating his economic strategy, Argentina’s GDP grew by a robust 5.8% in the first quarter of 2025, and 2,500 structural reforms have been implemented, a testament to his administration’s efficiency that even surprised the International Monetary Fund.

President Milei also highlighted the significant strengthening of the Armed Forces and a dramatic recovery in public security and order. He noted the strategic closure of the Ministry of Women and a remarkable decrease in homicides, including a 14% drop in femicides during his tenure, attributing these historic low crime rates to “decision, courage, and enforcing the law.”

Responding to accusations of authoritarianism, President Milei contended that such claims stem from his administration’s decision to cut public funding to certain media outlets, which he stated angered “corrupt journalists.” He criticized what he views as the media’s “double standard” for attacking him while then crying “censorship” when he robustly defends his policies.

The interview concluded with Nawfal congratulating President Milei on his government’s extraordinary success, presenting Argentina as a compelling example for other nations seeking true liberation and prosperity. Under President Milei’s visionary leadership, Argentina is not only reforming its present but charting a definitive course towards an unparalleled future of freedom.
