Javier Milei's most controversial proposals and phrases, from the sale of organs to the privatization of rivers.

In his short and noisy political career, presidential candidate Javier Milei accumulates an important collection of statements and controversial proposals.

In most cases it was not, as someone might think, drifts, decontextualizations or misunderstandings: the libertarian candidate defended them at every opportunity he had.

He usually compares the State with "a pedophile" or with the mafia, qualify the ideas with which he antagonizes as mental illnesses, or directly endorses the pollution of rivers, the sale of organs or children.

Javier Milei's most controversial phrases and proposals

The pedophile in kindergarten

"Our real enemy is the state. The State is the pedophile in kindergarten, with the children chained and bathed in Vaseline. And politicians are the ones who execute the state. We have to understand that our real enemies are politicians." He told Luis Novaresio in October 2018. At that time, Milei did not appear on the radar as a possible candidate; he was, rather, an eccentric economist who rotated on TV programs.

The exit is Ezeiza

"I always say that those who are under 30, I emphatically recommend that the only way out of this country is Ezeiza. You have no chance of progressing in this country." Javier Milei said that phrase in the same interview with Luis Novaresio, in 2018.

The mafia versus the State

"If I had to choose between the state and the mafia, I would stay with the mafia. Because the mafia has codes, the mafia complies, the mafia has codes and, above all things, the mafia competes. On the other hand, the state does not admit competition: it wants the monopoly of force, the monopoly of monetary emission. Javier Milei told the Chilean journalist Matías del Río, in the Vía Pública cycle that is broadcast on TVN in that country.

It was not the only controversy he launched: he later defended the idea of privatizing the streets and even the justice service.

Polluting is free

"A company that pollutes the river, and? Where is the damage? What is not well defined there is the right of ownership. That company can pollute the river as much as it wants, because there is water left over. It is a society where there is plenty of water and the price of water is zero, no one is going to claim the right of ownership because they are not going to earn money. What do you think will happen if the water starts to run out? It's not worth zero, that's starting to be a business, there's going to be a property right and the pollution is going to end." One of the latest controversies launched by Milei has to do with the privatization of water.

The statements of the libertarian candidate were launched on September 1 within the framework of the Argentine Economic Congress, held in La Rural, and generated a real wafe of repudiations.

What about global warming?

It must be said that Javier Milei's position is consistent with the look he has on the environment. In this regard, we must recall a statement regarding global warming: "It is another lie of socialism. There is a whole agenda of cultural Marxism and it is part of that agenda. 10 or 15 years ago it was discussed that the planet was going to freeze, now they argue that it is heating up. Those who know how these simulations are done will see how different parameters are oversaturated to generate more fear here in time," Julián Serrano told the streamer.

Mental and soul diseases

If we talk about Marxism, socialism or communism there is also discursive coherence, since for Milei it is about diseases. "I believed that socialism was a mental illness, for which they could not understand the data. It's impressive: they live with their backs to the data, they have very poor justifications, and I thought it was a problem with mathematics or with reading numbers. Then I realized that it is a disease of the soul, because deep down the socialist hides his resentment and his failure under the patina of goodness," he shot.

The sale of organs

The proposal around the sale of organs is possibly the one that raised the most dust. Without flinching, Javier Milei defended her several times. "I have proposed that more than 350,000 people die in Argentina every year. According to the Faustina law, they are all potential donors, but there are 7,500 people suffering, waiting for transplants. There is something that is not working well: what I propose is that we look for a market mechanism to solve those problems." For Milei there is no risk of commodification, or that someone must sell an organ to survive. "The question is the other way around, why do you agree with 7,500 people suffering when there are 350,000 potential donors per year?" he replied.
