While the Argentine government expects Milei to meet with Isabel Díaz Ayuso, an advisor close to Ayuso stated that the meeting is not yet confirmed. This potential encounter comes at a sensitive time for the Popular Party (PP), less than 50 days before Spain’s general election on November 29, amid ongoing debates over pensions. President Pedro Sánchez is seeking legal ways to increase pensions ahead of the vote, which directly impacts older voters, a key demographic in Spanish elections. The PP has been entangled in pension-related issues since a spokesperson claimed the system was on the verge of collapse and needed bold reforms. Meanwhile, the PSOE sees this as another challenge for the PP, similar to past controversies involving their candidate, Alberto Núñez Feijóo. Vox, a potential coalition partner for Feijóo, advocates for a mixed public-private pension system. Although the PP insists pensions are secure, there appears to be hesitation around meeting Milei, known for his pro-austerity policies. This would be the fourth time they have met in person, but the current

The leadership of the PP ruled out meeting with Milei due to agenda problems, but takes away from his meeting in the afternoon with AyusoThe spokesperson for Spain's Popular Party (PP), Ester Muñoz, downplayed the significance of an upcoming meeting between Madrid's regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and Argentine President Javier Milei, describing it as part of 'normal relations' between two 'sister nations.' The PP has ruled out any meetings with Milei due to a busy schedule during their general election campaign. Muñoz criticized the left for trying to stoke fear over Milei's visit by suggesting potential 'cuts' by the right, which she said was a common tactic used by the ruling Socialist Party (PSOE).
