Milei's Spain Visit Sparks Controversy: "Socialist Scum" Remark Ignites Debate

Javier Milei, the self-proclaimed 'first liberal president in history,' addressed a large audience at the Madrid Economic Forum during his third visit to Spain. His speech focused on his successes in Argentina, while pointedly avoiding direct commentary on the Spanish government or its corruption scandals. However, he did make a noteworthy statement: "Más allá de cualquier cosa, sepan que, contra los socialistas de mierda, yo siempre voy a estar de su lado." This translates to, "Beyond anything else, know that, against the socialist scum, I will always be on your side." The statement is likely to generate considerable discussion and analysis. Milei's appearance drew a large crowd, highlighting his considerable international influence and the ongoing interest in his political ideology. The event underscores the global interest in Argentinian politics and the ongoing debate about liberal economic policies.
