ANDThe Government of Spain called its ambassador in Buenos Aires for consultations “sine die” this Sunday after the statements of the president of Argentina, Javier Mileiin Madrid, about the head of the Spanish Executive, Pedro Sánchez, whom he described as “sleazy”, and his wife, Begoña Gómez, whom he described as “corrupt”.
This was reported in an institutional appearance by the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, who asked the Argentine president for “public apologies” for some words that he considers “very serious” and, if they do not occur, he announced that Spain will take the “appropriate measures” to defend its “sovereignty and dignity.”

The Spanish minister said that with his behavior “Mr. Milei has taken relations between Spain and Argentina to their most serious moment in our recent history”, so the decision had been made to call the ambassador in Buenos Aires for consultations.
In case the Argentine president does not apologize, Albares pointed out that the Spanish Government will take “all measures” that it deems appropriate “to defend our sovereignty and our dignity.”
“We demand from Mr. Milei respect for the forms that are due between nations that exclude interference in internal affairs and that they live up to the great country he represents and the position he occupies, with manners and respect that he should never have abandoned, much more so being in the capital of Spain,” he added.
