The Government of Javier Milei has accused Pedro Sánchez of “meddling”, after this Friday the leader of the Spanish Executive criticized the elimination of the Ministry of Women in Argentina, in a context in which Spain decided to withdraw its ambassador in Buenos Aires due to differences between both presidents.

“He removed the ambassador for interference. And now, @sanchezcastejon? “, the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, published on her X account, a message that was responded to by Milei on the same social network.

At a rally on the last day of the campaign for the European elections, Sánchez criticized Milei for suppressing what was the Ministry of Women in Argentina, expressing that it is something that “hurts”, although he defended that “the feminist cause is much more powerful “All my solidarity, camaraderie and brotherhood with the Argentine people whom we love,” Sánchez concluded his speech.

The Argentine Government announced this Thursday the closure of the Ministry of Women to comply with its mandate to reduce the size of the State, and because it considers that this ministry “was created and used” for “political purposes-supporters” by the Administration of Peronist Alberto Fernández (2019-2023), according to the official announcement.

Sánchez had supported the former Peronist candidate, the then Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, in the last presidential elections in Argentina, and did not send congratulations to the libertarian when his victory was confirmed in November 2023.

This Friday’s new difference takes place in the context of a diplomatic crisis between Argentina and Spain. Spain withdrew its ambassador at the end of last month because Milei did not agree to apologize to the Spanish Executive, after the Argentine attacked socialism at the annual convention of the Vox party in Madrid, where he called the woman of Sánchez, Begoña Gómez.

On the contrary, the Argentine Government urged the Spanish authorities to apologize for calling him a “hater”, a “denier”, “taking substances”, “authoritarian”, “anti-democratic” and being “very bad” people.

Argentina considers that this diplomatic tension It is an “anecdote” in long-term relationships between both countries, but the personal relationship between both leaders may be affected, since they are not expected to meet when Milei returns to Spain to receive an award from the liberal entity Instituto Juan de Mariana, on June 21.
