Milei will meet Ayuso and Ignacio Garriga in Madrid but not Abascal in the run-up to the elections

The President of Argentina, Javier Milei, will meet with Ignacio Garriga, secretary-general of the Spanish party Vox, and Jorge Martín Frías, director of the Disenso Foundation, in Madrid. The meeting will take place at the foundation’s headquarters on Wednesday afternoon. Santiago Abascal, leader of Vox, informed Milei that he would not attend due to his ongoing campaign activities in Galicia. Following this meeting, Milei will meet with Madrid’s regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. He will then return to Argentina, where he is expected to arrive on Thursday morning. Since taking office in late 2023, Milei has made six trips to Spain but has not met with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez or members of the Spanish government. During these visits, Milei has repeatedly criticized Sánchez and even referred to Sánchez’s wife, Begoña Gómez, as 'corrupt.' These comments led to a diplomatic incident involving the recall of Spain’s ambassador to Argentina and the appointment of a new envoy five months later. Several Spanish ministers have visited Argentina in recent years, including Deputy Prime Minister and Labour Minister Yolanda Díaz, but none have held official meetings with members of阿根廷

He is meeting with Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the president of the regional government of Castilla-La Mancha, and participating in events organized by the conservative think tank Disenso, which supports the far-right party Vox. This visit marks the first time Milei has come to Spain without meeting Santiago Abascal, the leader of Vox, who is currently campaigning in northern Spain.

Javier Milei, president of Argentina, has entered Spain's pre-election campaign by calling on citizens to 'throw out the socialists by force' and labeling Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as an 'unpresentable dictator,' 'liberticide,' and 'thieving criminal.'

He praised Spain's historical role while criticizing leftist Latin American views on Spanish colonization. Milei highlighted the strong ties between Argentina and Spain, citing the reception of millions of Spaniards fleeing war and hunger in the early 20th century, and noted that Spain has recently welcomed hundreds of thousands of Argentinians escaping poverty and lack of future under what he calls the 'nefarious socialism of the 21st century,' referring to Kirchnerism and Sánchez's leadership. He accused socialist policies of causing instability and fostering migration, particularly in Ceuta, which he called an 'invasion' driven by electoral interests.

The chainsaw was poverty, unemployment and corruption: Milei returns in pre-campaign as a fetish of Ayuso and Vox

Javier Milei, the controversial Argentine president, has arrived in Madrid supported by Vox and part of the PP, despite growing challenges in Argentina. He is meeting with Isabel Díaz Ayuso and the Fundación Disenso, which is linked to Vox, while avoiding meetings with top PP leaders like Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The relationship between Milei and Vox dates back to 2024, when Milei criticized Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, leading to diplomatic tensions. Both share ideological alignment, using similar rhetoric such as 'casta' and 'motosierra,' and are connected through international networks. While Ayuso sees Milei as proof that deregulation can win elections, Feijóo views him as both an ally against Sánchez and a potential asset for future governance. Milei’s visit comes amid high inflation in Argentina, which he attributes to economic mismanagement.
