Milei Charges Against Socialism at the Ibero-American Summit and Equates It with Fascism

Milei defended his economic record and said socialism and fascism share traits as he clashed with Pedro Sánchez at the summit.

  • On Thursday, Argentine President Javier Milei and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez exchanged a brief, visibly distant greeting at the 30th Ibero-American Summit in Madrid, their first public encounter during the gathering.
  • The encounter occurred two weeks after Milei branded Sánchez an "unpresentable dictator" during a Madrid visit; Milei also skipped Wednesday's opening ceremony to meet Santiago Abascal, leader of Spain's far-right Vox party.
  • Defending his administration, Milei claimed he eliminated Treasury and Central Bank deficits and removed more than 18,000 regulations, though Argentina has lost over 240,000 formal private sector jobs under his watch.
  • Milei reaffirmed Argentina's "sacred cause" sovereignty claim over the Malvinas Islands, criticizing the United Kingdom for authorizing the Sea Lion project and filing criminal complaints against companies Rockhopper and Navitas.
  • With Spain's general election scheduled for November 29, polls suggest the right-wing Partido Popular may require support from Abascal's Vox to form a government, positioning the far-right as a key political challenger to Sánchez.
