Brazil confirms that its ambassador will not return to Argentina until Milei's "repeated insults and aggressions" cease.
El Gobierno argentino evita ofrecer disculpas por los agravios del presidente ultra a Lula
After repeated personal attacks by Argentine President Javier Milei against his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the Brazilian government withdrew its ambassador in Buenos Aires and downgraded bilateral relations to the level of chargé d'affaires. Lula's Foreign Minister, Mauro Vieira, said on Wednesday that the decision will be maintained until the "repeated insults and aggressions" by Milei cease.
The Argentine government avoided offering apologies for the outbursts by its president —who called Lula a "prisoner", "corrupt" and "socialist garbage"— and attributed the tensions to "expressions on both sides that show the political and ideological differences".
