The president of Argentina, Javier Mileionce again showed his distance from the main leftist leaders of the region in an interview in which he called “ignorant“to his counterpart from Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obradorand “terrorist killer“to the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro.

“It is a compliment that an ignorant person like López Obrador speaks badly of meit exalts me,” said Milei in an interview with the American network CNN en Español, which will be broadcast on Sunday, but of which the channel broadcast a preview this Wednesday.

The Argentine president responded like this when asked about the criticism towards him expressed by his Mexican counterpart and by the ruling party’s candidate in the upcoming Mexican elections, Claudia Scheinbaum.

The channel published a preview of the interview with Milei on its website, where it also states, although that video fragment was not shared, that in a section of the report the libertarian leader, who took over the Argentine Government last December, said about the Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, that “not much can be expected from someone who he was a terrorist murderer“.

Milei, leader of the far-right group La Libertad Avanza, has already expressed harsh criticism of López Obrador and Petro, with whom he is at antipodes due to his ideological thinking. Likewise against other leaders in the region, such as the Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduroand like the Brazilian, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
