Milei back in Spain for possible new Sanchez showdown
Argentine president Javier Milei returns two weeks after calling Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez a 'disgraceful dictator' and urging Spaniards to 'kick out' his Socialists in the election.
Argentine President Javier Milei is set to return to Madrid for a summit, stoking tensions with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Milei, a far-right leader, has urged Spain to vote Sanchez out of office, causing diplomatic friction. The summit, hosted by Sanchez, gathers 22 nations, including Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries.
This year, the summit features a predominance of right-wing leaders, including Milei, Jose Antonio Kast of Chile, and Rodrigo Paz of Bolivia. The meeting comes after a string of political clashes, including a collision of high-speed trains in Spain that killed 69 people. Sanchez, who has lagged in recent polls, faces pressure from his right-wing opposition, including the Popular Party and Vox.
The summit aims to revitalize the Ibero-American Community, focusing on cooperation in disasters and civil protection, as well as artificial intelligence.
