President Javier Milei paid tribute Sunday to murdered right-wing US activist Charlie Kirk, describing him as “a martyr of freedom.”Milei, 54, made the comments as he launched a fierce attack on “the left” in a speech delivered by pre-recorded message to a rally hosted by the Spanish far-right party Vox. Argentina’s head of state mourned the death of Kirk, the founder of the conservative youth political group Turning Point USA who was shot in the neck last Wednesday during a speaking event on a Utah university campus. “They took away an exemplary warrior on the battlefield of ideas. Milei offered his condolences to the family and noted that Kirk, whom he described as a “martyr for freedom” and “an impeccably peaceful person.”The Trump-aligned activist was recognised for “his way of confronting, through public debate, the lies of the socialists,” argued the President. Milei sought to draw parallels with right-wing movements in other countries, noting that both Kirk, himself and other conservative leaders were branded as “ultras or extremists” by the left.
