Brazil recalls ambassador to Argentina over Milei speech

Brazil has recalled its ambassador to Argentina for consultations after President Javier Milei made disparaging remarks about Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes during a political event in São Paulo. Milei referred to Lula as a 'convict' and a 'thief,' and called Moraes 'bald trash.' The comments were made during an event supporting right-wing presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro. Brazil's government criticized Milei for insulting two branches of government, the Brazilian people, and democracy. In response, Brazil summoned Argentina's ambassador to discuss the issue. Lula stated he would continue leading Brazil without external interference. Milei also accused Brazil and Mexico, along with the U.S. Democratic Party, of launching a 'negative campaign' against Argentina, partly referencing criticism of Argentina's performance in the recent World Cup. He claimed that Moraes blocked his visit to his 'unjustly imprisoned friend' Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently under house arrest.
