Before kicking off a three-day visit to Madrid, Argentina's libertarian President Javier Milei stirred controversy, accusing the socialist government of bringing 'poverty and death' to Spain.
Argentina's President Javier Milei gestures as he presents his book"El camino del libertario" in Madrid, Spain, on Friday.Argentina's President Javier Milei gestures as he presents his book"El camino del libertario" in Madrid, Spain, on Friday.
The book — withdrawn from circulation in Spain earlier this month because the back-flap biography erroneously said Milei had earned a doctorate — traces his meteoric rise in politics from eccentric TV personality to national lawmaker and outlines his radical free-market economic ideas.To thunderous applause, Milei condemned socialism as"an intellectual fraud and a horror in human terms."
Repeating a campaign pledge to eliminate Argentina's central bank — without giving further details — Milei promised to make Argentina"the country with the most economic freedom in the world." Tensions between Milei and Sánchez have simmered since the moment the Spanish prime minister declined to congratulate the libertarian economist on his shock election victory last November.
