Spain's Foreign Ministry denounced Argentine President Javier Milei on Wednesday after his appeal to Spanish voters to remove Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government before a Nov. 29 general election.
At an economic forum in Madrid on Wednesday, Oct. 21, Milei called Sánchez a “dictator,” “thief” and “corrupt.” He urged attendees to “Kick the Socialists out,” and described Spain as the cradle of liberalism.
In its response, the ministry said Milei had insulted Sánchez, Spain and its people. It also condemned what it characterized as his call for violence that morning.
The ministry said Spain “does not accept external interference” and defended the country's elected institutions and peaceful democratic coexistence. It accused Milei of seeking to foster polarization and violence among Spaniards and between Spain and Argentina.
Spain's Nov. 29 general election is the next scheduled political milestone. EconoTimes previously covered Spain's earlier condemnation of Milei's comments about Sánchez.
