Argentina's Milei calls Spain PM Sanchez a 'dictator' in Madrid visit
Milei attacked Spain’s left-wing government and immigration policy, while Sanchez’s Socialists face a tight election and Vox could hold the balance of power.
- Argentine President Javier Milei visited Madrid on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, urging voters to "kick the Socialists out" and labeling Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez a "dictator" while accusing the Spanish Government of encouraging migration.
- More than 70,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta on July 30-31, an event the United States State Department blamed on the Spanish Government that resulted in 141 deaths by the Government's count.
- During the forum, Milei claimed socialists count migrants as votes while accusing left-wing parties of causing Europe's economic "stagnation," all while avoiding meetings with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez during his seventh visit to Spain.
- Defying the criticism, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez previously posted a video expressing pride in being "zurdo," a term often used pejoratively by the Argentine President to target left-wing activists.
- Milei's visit occurs less than six weeks before the November 29 legislative elections, as he continues to bypass the Spanish Government to cultivate alliances with Vox leader Santiago Abascal and Madrid leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
