I would not like to derail this thread with personal attacks in a Milei's fashion, so please don't go in that way.
Anyway I would to point out that I think Milei is a seriously imbalanced person, as well as a despicable piece of scum that is inflicting intolerable suffering on the Argentinian people. Certainly a majority of Argentinian voters backed him last year, weary of the incompetence of previous governments, but I'm not the kind of sadist who enjoys whenn others make wrong decisions and pay the consequences
It's clear for me that Milei's conftontational style and his taste for cultural wars act as distractions, for the situation in Argentina is dramatic and catastrophic. The terrific state of Argentinian affairs is not only the consequence of the legacy of incompetence inherited from peronistas and macristas. Milei is aggravating the social and economic problems with a sadist and inhumane approach devoid of compassion, based on his minarchist and authoritarian beliefs.
Despite I have a very low opinion of Milei and I feel very sorry for the Argentinians under his disgraceful rule, I strongly disapprove that members of the Spanish government make comments about alleged substance abuses. Regardless of whether Milei is a despicable person, he is the highest authority of a friendly country. i believe relationships between countries must be ruled by principles such as respect for institutions.
That being said, it's false this conflict was triggered by the comments made by the minister Óscar Puente, for it is notorious that Milei has attacked the "evil socialists" (and Sánchez in particular) in numerous occasions before. Coming to the Steve Bannon festival in Madrid to insult Sánchez and his family is a miserable way of conduct that reveals disrespect for national sovereignty and democratic institutions. "Conservatives" and "liberals" tempted to condon Milei's behaviour would be equally miserable, for they could be contributing to erode our threatened liberal democracies and perhaps enabling new forms of authoritarianism. History ford not repeat itself, but certainly history rhymes. Beware of that
On a side note, the economic record of this government isxarguably the best in Spain’s recent history. Besides, one could contend Milei came here to boost the PSOE campaign for the upcoming EP elections
