In a presentation before the Spanish Congress, Pedro Sánchez maintained that “above ideologies are education and patriotism.” In addition, he recalled that he made “public security available to the Argentine president when we know it was a private trip.”



The president of Spain, Pedro Sánchez , today justified the decision to withdraw the ambassador in Buenos Aires as a result of her confrontation with Javier Milei. “It is a practice of diplomatic relations as an act of formal protest,” he said in a presentation before the Spanish Congress, and assured: “ Far from rectifying, Milei ratifies the insult .”

“This formal protest is linked to the proportionality of the attack from the capital of the host country,” he added.


Yesterday, Spain's Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares , announced that Spain will "definitely" recall ambassador María Jesús Alonso Jiménez , following Milei's refusal to apologize for her criticism of Sánchez and his wife, Begoña Gómez .

“Our fraternal feeling towards the Argentine people, those who live with us, and economic, cultural, and academic relations will always be a priority for our government , it has been from the first minute. It is true that affections are free between governments, this government has nothing to do with Milei's government. Affections are free, but respect is not, it is inalienable, and above ideologies are education and patriotism,” the Spanish president stated in Parliament.


During his presentation, he also recalled that his country “made available” to the Argentine president “the Torrejón airport (Madrid) and public security when we know that it is a private trip,” on the occasion of his last participation in the Vox convention. last weekend, and assured that the criticism “is unprecedented in recent history.”


“A first call for consultations was made, and what has happened is that Milei, far from rectifying, ratifies the insult and attack , then the ambassador is withdrawn,” said Sánchez. “Moderation is not being equidistant between the one who attacks and the one who suffers the aggression, but rather it is being on the side of the Spanish institutions that are attacked and letting go of the hand of the extreme right,” he concluded.

“Match point a Pedrito”​



Javier Milei announced that he will veto projects that want to "break the fiscal balance"

Before Sánchez's presentation at the Spanish Congress, Milei made a reference to the diplomatic conflict yesterday, at the opening of his presentation at the 41st annual IAEF congress.

While advancing on his economic definitions, the Argentine president paused for a few seconds and asked: “What was the fox plot about? The fox had two types of enemies. Obviously, Monasterio and all his soldiers, that is, the State that came and took the resources from him to take him to Spain. Well, just today I mention Spain. Maybe I already have a match point for Pedrito . Despite what the media progress says,” he emphasized.

In addition, he reiterated the accusations against his wife, Begoña Sánchez, and assured that the position of his European counterpart is encouraged by Kirchnerism to generate internal problems for the Argentine government, something he considered a “characteristic of the socialists.” For this reason, he suggested to former president Alberto Fernández - Sánchez's advisor - that he recommend a psychologist for his " inferiority complex " and a " good lawyer for Begoña, because he has a lot of cases in which he is suspected of trafficking." of influences ”.

Alberto Fernández responded to the criticism through his account on the social network X and in various interviews. “ I am amazed . President Milei caused a major international political disaster in Spain and he attributes responsibility for the consequences of his actions to me,” he commented. “ Am I an advisor to Pedro Sánchez? The President needs psychological assistance promptly ,” he said.
