The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso , is one of the most attractive leaders of the Spanish right today. Attentive to the evolution of the first steps of Javier Milei 's administration , the Popular Party (PP) leader expressed her desire to meet with the Argentine president and described him as “ the fashionable politician in Europe .”

It will be an honor to meet him .” He is the fashionable politician in Europe right now and he has made the world have its eyes on Argentina . That means that if he can apply, even a tenth of his program, things would begin to change a lot in Argentina,” said Díaz Ayuso, when asked about her opinion of the leader of La Libertad Avanza (LLA).

Regarding the effects that good management by the head of state can have, the Madrid politician stressed that the international attention that Milei generated could attract investments, companies and talents to Argentina, as long as it can implement part of its program. “What's more, only with the reforms that Milei applies can things be changed, because we already know the opposite, and it is massive poverty,” he highlighted.


However, he highlighted as a challenge for the president that “it is going to be very complicated because there are many public lifers .” “I know them well, instead of taking care of the public and truly loving it at the service of everyone, they do it to have their businesses and their way of life,” he pointed out in an interview with the newspaper El Observador . From his point of view, this sector seeks to try to make “nothing improve.”


“Never at the service of citizens, removing the incentive, the desire to prosper, to undertake and to fight to create a subsidy culture that works like a slab that ends everything. Breaking that, I know, is complicated because it means breaking with many interests, but if the Argentine people trust in what they are doing, things will go well,” he added about the cultural problems that the libertarian government will go through.

When referring to the possibility of a future meeting, Díaz Ayuso considered that in the first instance he sees it as difficult, since Milei is in a complex context where he will have to deal with a Congress “that he has inherited” and “it is a very strong counterpower that does not It will help you for the moment.” “So, she first has to take very complicated and delicate measures that she must face from Argentina. But, of course, it will be a pleasure to see him, here in Madrid, or there, in Argentina,” he added.

On the other hand, the president of the Community of Madrid was encouraged to say some advice for the libertarian leader, among them, avoiding going towards a policy of “destroying” without going deeper into explaining the meaning of the direction. Therefore, she suggests “patience.” "I don't see myself as having the strength to be able to advise someone who is president of a Nation, but if I could tell them it would be to know what led you to be president, who voted for you and for what, and to be faithful to it," he said. she.

“The youth have asked that there finally be a future for Argentina,” Díaz Ayuso continued, “and then that implies courage, patience and also a lot of pedagogy because I understand that some changes are going to be subject to a lot of demagoguery. You will have to explain them with the patience that is required when changes like this are applied. Nor can one come, destroy and not explain . In order to demonstrate that it is not being destroyed, that explanation, that transparency, but also firmness are needed. And I think that if you do it like this, things will go very well,” he concluded.

The stay of Alberto Fernández and his link with Pedro Sánchez​

Regarding the presence of the former president, Alberto Fernández , in Madrid, Ayuso echoed the journalistic reports and expressed that he could end up advising the Spanish president, Pedro Sánchez , and established a parallel between both administrations.

“At the rate he is going, Alberto Fernández ends up advising Pedro Sánchez . Because we are already used to this. Whoever ruins autonomous communities, entire regions, companies and squanders public money ends up in the socialist project. They are two first cousins,” he said.

In addition, the PP leader drew another parallel that Sánchez's management is comparable to the experience of the Frente de Todos: “In my May campaign, many Argentines participated in my rallies. And they all told me the same thing. Listen to us, we come from the future. There were also Venezuelans and Colombians who told us: I have already lost one country, I don't want to lose another. Because they see similar nuances in some issues, but in the social part it is identical.”

“Judges are persecuted; the truth is distorted; companies are destroyed; companies intervene; This false dichotomy of rich-poor, man-woman is encouraged. And of course all the new ideologies that create problems where there were none are embraced so as not to talk about the real problems. Investment is attacked; demagoguery is used by system. The adversary is attacked,” the Spaniard listed, although she warned: “What happens is that we are at the beginning of the path and they have been in Argentina for decades. But here that path is not going to be so easy, because in the end we are within the European Union, we still start from a better institutional and economic cushion.”

In relation to Javier Milei and his political affinities, Ayuso suggested that the libertarian president should be “himself” despite the political affinity he has with the VOX party , a group with an extremist tendency in its conservative positions with which the libertarian participated in several acts.

“Milei has to be him and then the similarities will be demonstrated over time. Because a politician also grows, as he governs and as the years go by, when he makes decisions, he avoids or faces problems. It's hard. I think that in the economic part I see many similarities with us, the popular ones, but I think it is not the time to say who he is. He belongs to no one ”, He concluded.
