President Javier Milei confirmed his attendance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January 2026, marking his third visit to the event. He shared the news on social media with the comment “Fenómeno barrial” and previewed a new speech against the “woke agenda”. The forum will focus on global challenges under the theme of a “spirit of dialogue”.
Argentine President Javier Milei announced on Thursday, December 25, 2025, the first details of his 2026 agenda, highlighting his participation in the World Economic Forum in Davos. Through a social media post, he shared an official event message and wrote “Fenómeno barrial”, a phrase alluding to his humble origins and popularity in neighborhoods.
This will be Milei's third attendance at the forum since assuming the presidency in December 2023. His first visit was in January 2024, just one month after taking office, and the second in January 2025. On both occasions, he used the platform to project his liberal ideology internationally, criticizing what he calls the “woke agenda”.
The event will take place in Switzerland from January 19 to 23, 2026, according to official sources, though some mentions indicate from the 18th to 23rd. Milei will travel accompanied by his sister Karina Milei, General Secretary of the Presidency. The theme of this edition is “a spirit of dialogue”, gathering government leaders, business executives, civil society, and academics to discuss five key global challenges, emphasizing public-private cooperation.
True to his stance, the president previewed that he will again challenge the “woke agenda”, defending economic liberalism. In his January 2025 speech, he denounced the promotion of the “LGBT agenda”, criticized radical feminism as a “distortion of equality”, called gender ideology “nefarious”, and questioned abortion policies as “bloody and murderous”. These statements sparked protests by LGTBI+ groups in Argentina and over a dozen countries, with thousands marching in Buenos Aires on February 1, 2025.
Milei's participation in Davos comes amid high international exposure, where he aims to reaffirm his ideological positioning before global leaders.
