The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, attacked this Friday the head of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, in a statement rejecting statements about him made by the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente.
In a statement published by the Office of the President of Argentina on his official account on the social network “He has more important problems to deal with, such as the corruption accusations leveled against his wife, an issue that even led him to consider resigning.”
“For the good of the Kingdom of Spain, we hope that justice will act quickly to clarify such a corruption scandal that directly affects the stability of your Nation and, consequently, relations with our country,” the text continued.
Puente spoke this Friday at an event on social networks in Salamanca along with another member of Sánchez’s Executive, the Minister of Equality, Ana Alonso.
In it, he pointed out that “on the networks you play hard and, if you don’t do it, you go unnoticed and are irrelevant” and referred to “very bad people who, being themselves, have reached the top,” like the former president American Donald Trump (2017-2021) and the current Argentine president.
De Milei said that he had seen him make some strong statements during the election campaign “when he came out, I don’t know in what state and prior to ingesting or after ingesting what substances,” without specifying more details.
The statement from Milei’s Office rejecting Puente’s words served to openly attack Sánchez, who he said “has endangered the unity of the Kingdom, agreeing with separatists and leading to the dissolution of Spain; has put Spanish women at risk by allowing the illegal immigration of those who threaten their physical integrity; and has endangered the middle class with its socialist policies that only bring poverty and death.”
The text expresses the wish that “the Spanish people will soon choose to live in freedom again,” as it considers that the socialist model is “the same one” that brought “misery and decadence” to Argentina.
The reaction to Milei’s words has not been long in coming from the Spanish Government, who through its social networks has spread a message in which it “flatly rejects the unfounded terms of the statement issued by the Office of the President of the Argentine Republic.” , which do not correspond to the relations of two brother countries and peoples.”
Milei will participate on May 18 in a meeting organized in Madrid by Vox, invited by its president, Santiago Abascal, very close to the Argentine president, whom he accompanied on December 10 in Buenos Aires at his inauguration.
For his part, Sánchez, close to former Argentine president Alberto Fernández (2019-2023), supported the former Peronist candidate, the then Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, in the last elections, and did not send congratulations to the libertarian when his victory was confirmed in November. from 2023
