Javier Milei calls Pedro Sánchez “coward” and says that he “applies Maduro’s model”

The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, called in a television interview “cowardly” the head of the Spanish Executive, Pedro Sánchez, of which he said that in terms of freedom of expression “he is applying the same model as (Nicolás) Maduro”, president of Venezuela.

“The coward (alluding to Pedro Sánchez) sent all his ministers to insult me. He started with the Transport and then, since I didn’t answer him, very cowardly he sent the women to assault me, and then call me a misogynist. And since I didn’t answer, he already joined,” he said in an interview with the Todo Noticias channel (TN).

The Minister of Transport of Spain, Óscar Puente, made a controversial statement on May 3 during a PSOE event, in which he accused the Argentine president, Javier Milei, of “ingesting substances.” This comment generated a strong reaction from the Argentine Government, which issued a statement of repudiation, describing the statements as “slander and insults.”

Puente later acknowledged that his words were a mistake and that he did not gauge the impact they would have. He stated that, if he had known, he would not have said them and described the context as “distended.”

“He is moving forward on freedom of expression, it is clear that it is Maduro’s model that he is applying,” Milei said today in reference to the head of the Spanish Executive. “What would happen if I did that here? What would the whole progressive band say?” he added.

The Argentine head of state published on Monday on social networks several messages of support for the press collaborator of the far-right Spanish political formation Se Acabó la Fiesta (SALF) Vito Quiles, immersed in a controversy with the Spanish minister Óscar Puente, whom the communicator accuses of having used an official car to attend a concert by the singer Taylor Swift.

The relationship between Milei and the president of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, as well as that of their respective cabinets, is going through a conflictive period, including the withdrawal by the Spanish authorities of their ambassador to Argentina, María Jesús Alonso.

The moment of greatest tension took place when Milei accused Sánchez’s wife, Begoña Gómez, of “corrupt” and called the head of the Spanish Government “coward”, during the participation of the president of Argentina in an event in Madrid of the far-right Vox party.

Next Thursday, Milei will leave again on a private trip to Spain to receive the next day an award from the Juan de Mariana Institute, a study center founded in 2005 whose name pays tribute to Juan de Mariana, a Spanish theologian and economist of the 16th century known for his ideas on the economy and individual freedom.

The spokeswoman for the Spanish Government, Pilar Alegría, has warned Milei that if she plans to visit Spain this week and make statements, she must “respect” the Spanish people and their institutions.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa

Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.

Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.

This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.

Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain

Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.

The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.

The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.

“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.

The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters

The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.

The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.

Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.

The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”

It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
