MADRID, 20 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, summoned the Argentine ambassador to Spain, Roberto Bosch, this morning at the Ministry headquarters, to demand that the president of his country, Javier Milei, express some “apologies public” after accusing the wife of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, of being “corrupt”.
This was confirmed in an interview on Cadena Ser, collected by Europa Press, in which he also threatened to break relations with Argentina if Milei does not apologize for what he considered an “attack” and “interference” in politics. internal affairs of Spain, after referring to Sánchez’s family environment at an event organized by Vox on Sunday in Madrid.
“This morning I have summoned the ambassador of Argentina (Javier Bosch) and I am going to convey to him the demand for a public apology from Javier Milei. We expect those apologies and from now on we will act accordingly if there are none,” said the head of Spanish diplomacy.
The statements by the Minister of Foreign Affairs take place a day after he called the Spanish ambassador in Argentina for consultations ‘sine die’, which represents the temporary withdrawal of the Spanish representative from the Latin American country. He did so in reaction to Milei’s reference to the wife of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, whom she accused of being “corrupt.”
Yesterday Albares demanded “apologies” in an institutional statement from the Moncloa Complex by the Argentine president, warning that if this does not occur, he will take “all measures” that he considers appropriate to defend Spanish “sovereignty and dignity.”
