República asserts influence at Hispanic summit in Mar-a-Lago
The Hispanic Prosperity Gala held on February 10 at Mar-a-Lago was more than an awards night. It became a declaration of political, economic, and cultural strength within Hispanic leadership in the United States. In that setting, República USA and its CEO, Rodrigo Arenas, assumed a central role.
Breaking News. Organized by Gabriela Berrospi and Tony Delgado, founders of Latino Wall Street, the gala brought together political leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, and strategists in an event that projected Hispanic influence within today’s political movement in the United States and its hemispheric connections.
- República USA participated actively in the event and in private gatherings that followed. Rodrigo Arenas engaged with national and international figures, reinforcing the outlet’s role as a bilingual platform connecting culture, policy, and economic dialogue.
- Argentine President Javier Milei received the Economic Freedom Award and praised the U.S.–Argentina trade agreement, highlighting tariff reductions and expanded market access.
- Business leaders such as Bob Unanue underscored the alliance between entrepreneurship and public engagement centered on prosperity, investment, and property rights.
Key Takeaways. Latino Wall Street, founded by Gabriela Berrospi, served as the conceptual backbone of the evening. Its stated mission is to eradicate poverty through financial literacy and the creation of generational wealth within the Latino community.
- Berrospi, a member of the Forbes Finance Council and host of a television program from the New York Stock Exchange in partnership with FinTech TV, said her goal is “to show who we really are” and counter narratives that reduce Latinos to limiting stereotypes.
- Her investment philosophy follows the blueprint of Warren Buffett and Ray Dalio, focusing on index-based strategies such as the S&P 500 and commodities, prioritizing patience and discipline over speculation.
- She criticized a culture of impulsive spending and defended automated saving and investing as foundations for economic independence and family stability.
On the Radar. The event reflected a transnational coordination among political movements across the Americas. The presence of international leaders and video messages highlighted an alliance that extends beyond borders and connects Hispanics inside and outside the United States.
- The gala demonstrated the growing weight of Latinos within current U.S. political leadership and their expanding influence as the 2026 midterms approach.
- Video messages from Javier Milei and Isabel Díaz Ayuso reinforced a shared agenda centered on sovereignty, economic freedom, and institutional strength.
- The prevailing message was clear: the Hispanic vote is neither automatic nor monolithic; it is shaped by economic aspiration, cultural identity, and the defense of opportunity.
What’s Next. Beyond musical performances by Nacho and Maffio, the gala sent a broader signal: the Hispanic community is building its own institutions and sustained platforms of influence.
- República USA positioned itself within a growing bilingual media ecosystem seeking to narrate the Hispanic experience from within rather than as an external subject of analysis.
- The fusion of culture, sports, and business — including recognitions for international figures — illustrated a strategy that merges identity with economic and civic leadership.
- As attention turns toward the midterm elections, the conclusion was direct: Hispanics are diverse, influential, and cannot be taken for granted by any political coalition.
