The disruptive ideas of the Argentinian president, Javier Milei, took shape once again this weekend in Madrid in an anti-socialist and clearly fascist speech formulated during a rally organized in that capital by the far-right Spanish party Vox.

Milei's diatribes took on insulting dimensions against the current PSOE government headed by Pedro Sánchez, whose wife was also targeted by Milei when she returned to a recent episode that links her to an alleged crime of influence peddling.

In this way, Milei strained diplomatic relations between the two countries like never before to the point that Moncloa called his ambassador in Buenos Aires for consultations.

The three-day visit of the Argentine president to Madrid was an act of commitment to the right-wing wave that is taking shape again in Europe and that aims to establish a front, a global alliance, between the most reactionary ideologies to confront what they describe as weakness of many governments in the face of leftist movements.

To this end, those gathered by VOX relocated and converged positions with a view to the upcoming European Parliament elections, between June 6 and 9.

Renowned figures from the European, American and Latin American right were present in Madrid, in person or virtually.

Some of the pearls who made themselves heard were the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, the Premier of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, and the deputy of the National Assembly of France, Marine Le Pen.

Outside the venue, meanwhile, thousands of people repudiated the Coven of the international right, with slogans such as To fascism, not one step further.

In Madrid, Milei wrote another flowery rhetoric from the best spokesmen of fascism.

The Argentine newspaper 1588 reproduced a statement from the Radical Civic Union, in which it exhorts the Milei government “to have a mature, responsible foreign policy, in accordance with our history and national interests and not a mere personal ideological whim.”

"In less than six months of administration," he underlines, "the president has generated diplomatic conflicts, only in Latin America, with Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Ecuador and in the last hours, once again, with Spain. “All of them, countries that throughout history had a fraternal relationship with Argentina”
