Javier Milei, the President of Argentina, criticized Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish leader, during his visit to Madrid. In a speech delivered at the Fórum Europa, held at the Real Casino Gran Círculo, Milei referred to Sánchez as an 'unpresentable dictator.'

The event took place in the context of the electoral campaign in Spain, where Milei expressed his support for opposition leaders such as Santiago Abascal and Isabel Díaz Ayuso. However, his comments regarding the current Spanish government sparked controversy.

In addition to calling Sánchez a 'thief criminal,' Milei urged Spanish citizens to 'kick the socialists out.' These statements were made during a business forum, where Milei was surrounded by businesspeople and politicians.

It has been reported that this is the seventh time Milei has visited Spain since taking office. Upon his arrival in Madrid, he was received on Calle Alcalá, and although he did not stop to speak with the press, his speech received extensive media coverage.

Milei's criticisms coincide with his focus on battling what he perceives as 'enemies of freedom.' In his speech, he reaffirmed his stance on the political situation in Spain, aligning himself with opposition forces against the current government.

According to various media outlets, the activities of the Argentine president attracted the attention of attendees, who applauded at the beginning of his speech, suggesting significant interest in his political stance and views on Spanish leadership.
