US EditionDiplomatic Tensions Flare: Argentina's Milei Takes Aim at Spain's Sanchez Again
- During the Madrid Economic Forum on Sunday evening, Argentina's President Javier Milei sharply criticized Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, intensifying existing diplomatic strain between the two leaders.
- The spat follows previous insults by Milei, including calling Sánchez's wife 'corrupt' in May 2024, which led Spain to withdraw its ambassador temporarily.
- Since assuming the presidency at the end of 2023, Argentina’s leader connected his proposed economic changes to the country’s recovery during his main address at the libertarian gathering in Madrid.
- He claimed the government cut public spending 30%, achieved a $1.1 billion fiscal surplus, and reduced inflation from 25.5% to 2.5%, calling Argentina a future global power.
- Milei’s aggressive rhetoric against Sánchez and his market-oriented policies deepen political divides but affirm his commitment to radical change and reduced state intervention.
