MADRID, May 22 (NNN-MERCOPRESS) — The Government of Spain announced that it would be pulling Ambassador Mar\u00eda Jes\u00fas Alonso Jim\u00e9nez from Buenos Aires on a permanent basis after Argentine President Javier Milei’s derogatory comments about Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez during the weekend in Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe withdrew our ambassador in Buenos Aires. She will definitely stay in Madrid. Argentina will continue without an ambassador,\u201d Spanish Foreign Minister Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares announced. \u201cFrom now on, the embassy will continue at the level of charg\u00e9 d’affaires\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a convention of far-right parties hosted by the local Vox, the Libertarian leader said S\u00e1nchez’s wife Bego\u00f1a G\u00f3mez was corrupt. G\u00f3mez is under investigation for influence peddling by a Spanish court. Yet, those remakrs hit a nerve unlike Spanish Transport Minister \u00d3scar Puente saying days before that Milei consumed \u201csubstances,\u201d for which he later apologized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milei did not. \u201cThey can insult everybody and I have to keep quiet. Where do I leave my dignity?\u201d, he wondered. \u201cI am not going to apologize to her under any point of view,\u201d he stressed despite Sanchez’s warnings that measures would ensue, including the possibility of bringing the matter before European Union authorities. \u201cLet him take it wherever he wants, he’s going to look more ridiculous, everyone understands the dynamics of the facts,\u201d underlined Milei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the latest diplomatic move by Spain, Milei said it was \u201ca nonsense typical of a fatally arrogant socialist.\u201d He also said Argentina would not be withdrawing Ambassador Roberto Bosch from Madrid. \u201cI will not be so imbecile as to repeat such a mistake,\u201d Milei argued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Argentine President insisted that the Spanish head of government was \u201cso fatally arrogant that in the face of a personal problem due to a phrase that did not contain names, he felt alluded to, with which the problem is Mr. Pedro S\u00e1nchez’s, and from there he makes a senseless diplomatic escalation and as if this were not enough, he thinks he is the State.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By confusing himself and his family with the Spanish State, S\u00e1nchez \u201cis tarnishing the international reputation of Spain,\u201d Milei explained. He \u201cwill become a laughing stock\u201d for raising a personal conflict to the diplomatic level, Milei also pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding S\u00e1nchez’s claims that Milei was interfering in local politics, the South American leader recalled that the Spanish PM had \u201copenly campaigned for [Sergio] Massa\u201d last year. Milei beat Massa in a runoff on his way to Casa Rosada. Milei also claimed Kirchnerism was behind Spain’s reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, he promised that the relationship with Spain will not be affected by the tension and posed that \u201cOne of the characteristics of the socialists is to sabotage governments that are not of their palate,\u201d he also assured. — NNN-MERCOPRESS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
