BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Spain on Tuesday stated it was pulling its ambassador from Argentina in action to remarks made by Argentine President Javier Milei, who implicated the Spanish prime minister’s spouse of corruption and explained socialism as “cursed and carcinogenic.”
Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares informed press reporters Tuesday that the Spanish ambassador to Argentina “will certainly remain in Madrid.”
“Argentina will continue without an ambassador,” he stated.
Milei reacted madly to the relocation, stating the withdrawal was “nonsense normal of a big-headed socialist.”
“Socialists can doing anything,” he included.
The choice even more intensifies a diplomatic spat in between the socialist Spanish federal government and the conservative Argentine federal government.
Stress have actually been constructing for weeks. Spain’s socialist federal government had actually summoned its ambassador for assessments and required an apology from Milei after the libertarian leader knocked Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his spouse at a reactionary rally in Madrid Sunday.
On Monday Milei just doubled down, stating he would “under no situations” excuse his criticism.
