The Hollywood Series Effect: Argentina's President's Speech at the UN

Here’s what happens when a presidential advisor is in love with Hollywood series. Why struggle to draft a speech for the leader when Hollywood screenwriters have already written everything? Javier Milei, in his first speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, nearly verbatim repeated a line from the character in the series 'The West Wing.'

“We believe in freedom of speech for everyone. And in religious freedom for everyone. Everything happening in one country affects others. Therefore, we are free from tyranny and oppression. Be it political persecution, economic slavery, or religious fanaticism. This fundamental idea should not be left naked. It must be affirmed through diplomacy, economics, and money,” he stated.

According to media outlets, such similarities are unlikely to be coincidental.
