Milei calls Socialist Pedro Sánchez a 'dictator,' urges Spaniards to 'kick the Socialists out'
On the issue of immigration, the Argentine president accused Pedro Sánchez's left-wing government of encouraging a migrant invasion for electoral reasons, citing the events that took place in the enclave of Ceuta in July.
Argentine President Javier Milei, criticized Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, a Socialist, during a visit to Madrid on Wednesday, calling him a "dictator" just over a month before Spain's general election on Nov. 29.
"Spain has welcomed hundreds of thousands of Argentines who fled poverty and a lack of prospects, the result of the sinister 21st-century socialism, its Argentine offshoot, which is 'Kirchnerism,' and which you regularly suffer under with the unpresentable dictator Pedro Sánchez," Milei declared during his speech at an economic forum.
During his speech, the 55-year-old Argentine called Sánchez a "thief" and "corrupt," and urged Spaniards "to kick the Socialists out."
The Argentine president also lashed out at left-wing parties in Europe, accusing them of being responsible for the "brutal stagnation" of the continent's economy.
Milei will meet with Santiago Abascal and Isabel Díaz Ayuso
"Economic stagnation combined with irresponsible immigration policies are paving a path of decline that will be very difficult to reverse in the future," he argued.
During his visit to Madrid, the Argentine president is scheduled to meet with Santiago Abascal, leader of the Vox party, and with the conservative president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
"I am clearly a friend of Santiago Abascal and a friend of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and I believe they have sound and positive ideas to pull Spain out of its decline," he said.
