Former Argentine President Alberto Fernández (2019-2023) accused Javier Milei’s Government on Saturday of damaging bilateral relations with Spain and other countries and questioned the travels of the current president, who is currently visiting Madrid.

“The national government has hurt our relations with Spain, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, China and much of the Arab world. Wanting to get closer to the ‘powerful’, he has taken us away from our brothers in the region and from our main commercial export destinations,” Fernández said.

Through the social network X, the Peronist leader asserted that Milei “only cares about taking his violent speech to those who, like him, screen democracy, deny climate change and repudiate respect for gender diversity.”

“In just six months, he has traveled more than 100,000 kilometers and spent millions of pesos to participate in conservative and fascist conventions, present books in which he falsifies his background, give lectures that incite violence, meet with billionaires who manipulate social networks and even show off his worrying mysticism,” he said.

Fernández pointed out that this “would have cost” Argentina less “if it had a centered chancellor” – alluding to Foreign Minister, Diana Mondino – “and its foreign policy was governed by autonomy and not by the imposition of a dehumanized ideology and submission to a power in crisis,” alluding to Milei’s decision to align Argentina’s foreign policy with the United States, in addition to Israel.

“While in Argentina the lives of its inhabitants deteriorate, we continue to pay for the absurd decisions of an ‘ambassador of light’ who is leaving us in the dark,” Fernández said, alluding to the recognition as an “international ambassador of light” that the Jewish community of Miami gave to Milei on his trip to the United States last April.

Milei, leader of the far-right formation La Libertad Avanza and who assumed the Argentine Presidency last December, left last Thursday on the presidential plane bound for Spain, in what is his first official visit to the European country, despite the fact that he does not plan to meet with Felipe VI or government authorities, but he will participate in the annual convention of the far-right Vox party.

This Friday he presented in Madrid his new book, “The path of the libertarian”, and this Saturday he met with managers of Spanish companies and is scheduled a meeting with the deputy and president of Vox, Santiago Abascal.

The central act of the visit will take place on Sunday, when he participates with other international leaders of the far-right in the annual Vox convention, Europa Viva 24, in whose edition last year he already spoke, when he was still a presidential candidate.

This year, Milei will give a speech to the attendees.

“Milei travels with state money to a rally of world fascism. That happens while your salary is depressed and the registered job is broken. Do we understand that Argentine development and the well-being of the people are not in their plans?” asked Alberto Fernández.
