Javier Milei shreds ‘useless’ UN to its face in fiery speech to 'fatally arrogant parasites'

Argentina’s libertarian President Javier Milei struck again, this time in a fiery speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, in which he called the body "useless" and made up of "fatally arrogant parasites." Milei began by commending the U.N.’s founding mission of resolving conflict peacefully and promoting universal freedom and dignity as "noble words." However, he went on to say that "today, regrettably, it is time to acknowledge that in practice that sacred covenant has been broken." "That’s to say, it has become a useless organization whose only purpose is to sustain a caste of fatally arrogant parasites masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats," he charged.

To make his case, he pointed to the U.N.’s role in restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic , which he called a type of "genocide," as well as the "gender agenda, environmental extremism and unchecked immigration." IRAN'S PRESIDENT SAYS TEHRAN IS READY FOR DIPLOMACY WITH TRUMP, BUT WON'T ACCEPT 'LANGUAGE OF FORCE' Milei said that "during the pandemic, bodies under the auspices of this house put themselves before scientific evidence and the sovereignty of nations and promoted forced lockdown policies throughout the world." "Where some allege a public health policy error, we see a global experiment in social control disguised as science, and when a state wearing public health blinkers deprives its population of the right to work, to receive an education and to bid farewell to their dead, this results in millions of avoidable deaths; there is a word for it, genocide." He charged that "every time [the U.N.] failed, rather than reviewing the model or apologizing, they doubled down." "Those who were supposed to guarantee collective security and human rights failed in their task.

They allowed chaos, violence and international terrorism to flourish," he said, adding, "The alleged defenders of human rights have sheltered bloodthirsty dictatorships and regimes that stone women in the streets; they have systematically voted against Israel while remaining silent in the face of Islamic terrorism and the genocide of Christians in Africa ." Milei is widely considered a radical reformer, budget slasher and also an ally of President Donald Trump .

Similar to Trump’s previous criticisms of the U.N. before the assembly, Milei did not hold back in his Wednesday address.
