The International Talks always take place during the semester. Always online. Always discussion format. Always socially relevant, international topics. The format includes an impulse with discussion, in which the participants can take part via chat. The talks get a special dynamic through the moderation of different experts. The International Talks are open to all students, colleagues and interested persons, especially including international students.
Democracy in danger? Milei’s rise to power in Argentina and the advance of authoritarian processes in a world in crisis
Thursday, 06th of November 2025, 6 pm
In this talk we will reflect on the social and political phenomenon of Milei’s rise: hypotheses on why he came to power, what aspects of his discourse resonated with a society disenchanted and disillusioned with the promise of democracy, the discrediting of traditional parties, and the conditions for the growth of outsiders. We will have emphasis on the government’s economic measures, the repression of social mobilisation, and the backtracking on public policies, social security, and the phenomenon of discrediting any form of social protection. The conditions are in place for an ultra-liberalisation of life and an ‘every man for himself’. The scapegoating of poor people, immigrants, and anyone who is assisted by public institutions. This oriented to our work as social workers impacts on a big cut in budgets and policies in which colleagues work. Many layoffs in public institutions and a crisis of social work in the framework of a redefinition of the responsibilities of the state. Are we facing a new stage of capitalist societies or is it an experience that is doomed to end soon?
