“How nice everything has turned out,” he said. Agustín Laje in his X account. The intellectual leader of the local right posted a reflection on the latest events in which the libertarian, conservative and liberal movements positioned themselves with different electoral triumphs in Latin America. He also detailed the course of the various popular leaders linked to the left and social democracy.
“To think that, two decades ago, when I went to school, saying that it wasn’t 30,000 cost you a fine; Che was a secular saint who printed t-shirts; Nestor and Cristina they led a ‘national and popular’ revolution; Chavez and Maduro They built the ‘Great Homeland’; Evo and Correa They supported this enterprise; Cuba claimed to be the father of ‘socialism of the 21st century’; Obama consolidated a progressive agenda inside and outside the United States, and saying that one was right-wing, in any corner, was taboo,” reviewed Laje, who in the beginning was sponsored by the ultra-conservative intellectual Nicolas Marquez.
Next, the author of The black book of the new left and of The cultural battle: Critical reflections for a New Right He remarked: “Twenty years later: we shit on the lies of the seventies, and affirming that there were not 30 thousand became a commonplace; no one wears Che’s t-shirts anymore: revolutionary socialism is no longer fashionable; Nestor and Chavez They are rotting corpses; Cristina is imprisoned for corruption; Maduro and his narco-dictatorship are surrounded by North American forces and could fall at any moment; the Cuban regime inspires nothing but horror; “Evo is hidden as a pedophile and Correa is hidden as a thief.”
At the end of the post, the president of the Free Foundation praised the coming to power of Javier Milei and Donald Trump and how this influenced youth in recent years. “The woke agenda is in crisis, and Western youth is beginning to turn quickly to the right, even in places as complicated as Spain,” concluded the Cordoban writer and former scholarship recipient. William J. Perry Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies, dependent on the National Defense University of the United States.
Currently, Agustín Laje is director of the Lighthouse Foundation and today it occupies a strategic and symbolic place in La Libertad Avanza. His role is not that of just any militant: he has become one of the intellectual axes of the libertarian project led by Javier Milei, articulating his cultural, political and theoretical discourse within the official force.
In the recent legislative elections, Laje analyzed the victory of LLA as a “support for a Government that needs governability” and predicted a new stage marked by a “different political rationality.” He pointed out that Milei opened bridges with non-Kirchnerist governors, which according to him reflects a shift towards greater pragmatism and State responsibility. For Laje, this does not imply a renunciation of libertarian principles; On the contrary, he warns that “the President is going to moderate in many cases, but the toughest militancy will be what it always was.”
His public profile combines political analysis with international projection. He recently participated in CPAC Hungary 2025 through his role at the Faro Foundation. On the electoral horizon, some polls position him as one of the leaders with the best image within the libertarian space. Furthermore, he does not rule out a candidacy if Milei proposes it, which reinforces the idea that his influence could also become formal power.
