Spain recalls ambassador after Argentine president calls prime minister's wife "corrupt"

ai generated text

The diplomatic row between Argentina and Spain has escalated, with Spain permanently withdrawing its ambassador from Buenos Aires. The dispute began when Argentine President Javier Milei called Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's wife, Begona Gomez, "corrupt" during a rally in Madrid. Milei refused to apologize for his comments, sparking outrage among the Spanish government. Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares demanded an apology and summoned Spain's ambassador from Argentina for consultations. Other ministers also condemned Milei's speech, with some calling it "unacceptable". Milei doubled down on his comments, stating he had no intention of retracting them. In response, Spain withdrew its ambassador to Argentina, with Albares saying the envoy would remain in Madrid permanently. The dispute has put a strain on the $18 billion trade between the two countries.

    1. This all began on 3 May, when a Spanish government minister accused the Argentinian president of ingesting substances.
    2. Since then, there's been an endless number of attacks from other ministers – and from Sánchez himself – talking about [Milei] being a fascist, a hater, a denier and a bad person – I could go on.

    1. When you have a corrupt wife, let's say, it gets dirty, and you take five days to think about it.
    2. They don't know what kind of society and country socialism can produce, what kind of people cling to power and what levels of abuse it can bring. Even with a corrupt wife, he debases himself and takes five days to think about it.
    3. HELLO EVERYONE! THE LION IS BACK, SURFING ON A WAVE OF SOCIALIST TEARS. LONG LIVE FREEDOM, DAMN IT!
    4. It is absurd, typical of an arrogant socialist.
    5. Some people are asking for apologies. There won't be any as there's nothing to apologise for. In fact, we urge the Spanish government to apologise to us.
    6. The global elites don't understand how destructive implementing socialist ideas can be because they're too far away from it all.

    1. The ambassador will remain permanently in Madrid, Argentina will be left without an ambassador.
    2. With his behaviour, Milei has brought the relationship between Spain and Argentina to its most serious state in recent history.
    3. If such an apology is not forthcoming we will take all the actions we deem necessary to defend our sovereignty and our dignity.
