Buenos Aires is set to make history as President Javier Milei hosts CPAC Argentina, a landmark gathering of conservative and libertarian leaders poised to reshape the political landscape of a region emerging from decades of populism and economic crisis.
On December 4, Buenos Aires will host the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in a landmark event expected to draw a massive turnout of attendees and influential figures from across the globe. The gathering, led by Honorary President Javier Milei, marks a significant moment for Argentina and the broader region, signaling a shift towards a resurgence of conservative and libertarian values in a landscape long dominated by populism and socialism.
CPAC Argentina CEO Soledad Cedro, in a conversation with Infobae, underscored the symbolic and practical importance of holding the conference in Argentina, a nation grappling with deep economic and political crises. “CPAC is a registered trademark in the debate of conservative and libertarian ideas, centered on the pursuit of freedom, respect for individual rights, and limited government,” Cedro stated. She emphasized that the conference represents a “logical extension” of these values, aimed at fostering political renewal after “more than 20 years of populism and corruption” that have left the nation in economic turmoil.
Cedro expressed that Latin America’s struggle against “the horror of socialism and populism” necessitates a platform for proponents of democracy and individual rights to unite and share strategies. With Milei set to deliver the keynote address, CPAC Argentina will also feature high-profile figures from the United States, Europe, and other Latin American countries, promising to make it a historic political spectacle.
**Changing the Narrative on Conservatism in Latin America**
A key goal for Cedro and CPAC Argentina is to reshape perceptions around conservatism in the region. While traditionally associated with negative connotations, conservative and libertarian ideals are increasingly being recognized as alternatives to failed socialist policies. Cedro stated, “Populism and socialism have succeeded in equalizing entire populations in poverty… People are not as naïve as some accustomed to power and living off the state believe. People have woken up and realized they’ve been stolen from for years.”
The Buenos Aires summit aims to serve as a beacon for pragmatic public policies that can address the issues facing Argentina and its neighbors, from poverty to security concerns exacerbated by narco-criminal influences.
**Global Reach, Local Flavor**
CPAC Argentina is positioned to reflect both universal and local priorities. While featuring traditional themes around limited government and personal freedom, Cedro highlighted that the conference will carry a distinctly Argentine touch, shaped by Milei’s influence. “Political values are universal, and the exchange of ideas always enriches us, no matter where we are,” Cedro noted.
The summit’s agenda and speaker lineup, though not fully disclosed, promise to feature heavyweight voices from global conservative and libertarian circles. The impact of the upcoming U.S. elections on November 5, a major international focus, may further shape the narrative, potentially bringing key figures involved in America’s political transition.
**A Forum for Dialogue Amid Polarization**
Acknowledging potential criticisms of fostering polarization, Cedro stressed that CPAC’s mission is to engage in robust idea-driven debates based on established truths. “Socialism does not work, and never has,” she asserted. “Starting from well-known foundations is not polarizing; it aims to build a dialogue based on established facts.”
With ambitious goals, CPAC Argentina seeks not only to influence regional politics but to establish a recurring platform for collaboration among proponents of freedom, democracy, and efficient governance. Cedro summed up the vision by stating, “The goal is always to add value — through ideas, constructive debates, and by bringing speakers to the country who haven’t been heard live before.”
As Buenos Aires prepares for this landmark conference, all eyes will be on how this gathering shapes Argentina’s future political trajectory and contributes to broader regional transformations.
