The Argentine president, Javier Milei, assault laborious a Pedro Sánchez, whom he accuses of “endanger the unity of the Kingdom.”

The accusation, unfold in a assertion on the night time of this Friday, got here after the statements of the Minister of Transport of Spain, scar Puente, what did he say that the Argentine head of state “ingested substances.”

Sánchez “has more important problems to deal with, like the accusations of corruption that fall on his wife, “A matter that even led him to guage his resignation.”

“For the great of the Kingdom of Spain, we hope that justice acts rapidly to make clear such a corruption scandal “which directly affects the stability of your Nation and, consequently, the relations with our country,” provides the tough assertion from the Argentine presidency.

The conflict was unleashed from some placing statements by Puente throughout a colloquium on Communication and Social Networks of the PSOE School of Government.

“Be yourselves, without fear, There are very bad people who, being themselves, have reached the top, I pity Trump. Be yourself on the networks and in life and that's it, you don't suffer because it's not worth it. There are those who, being themselves, have come very far and some are not highly recommended.”

When increasing on the Argentine president, Puente added that he doesn’t know if “he will have advisors.” “I to Milei If he has advisors, I think he doesn't listen to them. a lot. I saw Milei on TV and I said, as I was listening to him, I don't know in what state, before ingesting or after ingesting what substances, and he came out to say that and I said, it's impossible for him to win the elections, I dug his pit, well no.”

The Pink House It took me a couple of hours to react to Puente's reckless feedback.

“Pedro Sánchez has endangered the unity of the Kingdom, pacting with separatists and leading to the dissolution from Spain; has put at risk to women Spanish allowing the illegal immigration of those who threaten their physical integrity; and has put in danger to the middle class with their socialist policies that only bring poverty and death,”

“We Argentines chose to change the model that brought us misery and decadence. The same model applied by the Spanish Socialist Workers Party in his country We hope that the Spanish people will soon choose to live in freedom again,” concludes the assertion, an unprecedented textual content within the relationship between Madrid y Buenos Aires.

Sánchez and Milei haven’t spoken because the Argentine gained the presidency in November 2023. The Spanish head of presidency didn’t even congratulate the Argentine on social networks, who in August 2023 had already anticipated to EL MUNDO that his relations with Sánchez can be virtually non-existent.

When requested if he would add Sánchez's Spain to the checklist of “socialist and communist countries” (China, Brazil, Chile, North Korea, and many others.) with which he wouldn’t relate, Milei nodded. And then he added: “Socialists are not defenders of freedom.”

Every week after Milei's victory, Sánchez left a sentence: “Spain is an open and tolerant country, feminist and environmentalist, lover of peace and social justice, in which neither Trump, nor Bolsonaro, nor Milei will prosper.” “.

Weeks later Diana Mondino, MIlei's chancellor, told EL MUNDO that relations between both countries cannot be “lower than magnificent”, something that is severely questioned after today's clash.

Milei plans to travel to Spain this month to participate in a Vox rally ahead of the European Parliament elections. And she will return to Madrid in June to receive an award from the Juan de Mariana Foundation, a liberal think tank.

Milei's spokesman, Manuel Adorni, told EL MUNDO this Thursday that he did not see it likely that the president would meet with Sánchez on one of his two trips to Spain. After what happened this Friday, the improbable becomes impossible.
