The weekend brought us a glimpse of the old Javier Milei from the campaign days, with rock blasting, chanting and his personal brand of ‘no holds barred’ political commentary.
On Sunday (8), Argentina’s President returned to Madrid in grand style, calling out Spanish Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in the same unforgiving way he did one year ago, when his sharp criticism developed into a diplomatic spat, as we reported in ‘The Lion Is Back, Surfing on Socialist Tears’: Online and in the Streets of Spain, Support for Argentina’s Milei Is Growing, After Criticism of Corruption by PM Sanchez’s Wife (VIDEOS)

Reuters reported:
“At the Madrid Economic Forum event on Sunday evening, Milei called for ‘clobbering the local bandit’, referring to Sanchez without naming him directly.
Sanchez’s office declined to comment on the incident.”

“In May 2024, Milei called Sanchez’s wife Begona Gomez ‘corrupt’ at another event in Madrid. The comment led to a diplomatic spat, with the Spanish government withdrawing its ambassador from Buenos Aires for several months when Milei refused to apologize.”
Milei accused Begoña Gómez during an event organized by the Vox party: ‘What a bunch of people who got into power. Even when he has a corrupt wife, he gets dirty and takes five days to think about it’.
Gomez is under preliminary investigation for possible influence peddling and corruption. She and her husband have denied any wrongdoing.
