Argentina President Javier Milei riled the far-Left in Spain late this week while he visited the country and slammed their political ideology as cancerous and evil.
During his first speech in the country on Friday, the right-wing libertarian political leader and economist said: “Let us not let the dark, black, satanic, atrocious, horrible carcinogenic side that is socialism prevail over us.”
Far-left Spanish Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz, who is also a deputy prime minister, had accused Milei of spreading “hate” with his freedom-loving ideas.
“There aren’t many who sow hate, but they make a lot of noise and flood everything,” said Diaz. “Milei and other governments of hate are back with their austerity measures and authoritarianism.”
Milei said that his policies were putting his country back on track after being on “a decline of more than 100 years”.
Milei has made major cuts to the country’s spending and cut the size of its government, along with other measures, which have resulted in its inflation rate plummeting and the government recording surpluses for the first time in nearly two decades.
