This accusation took place at a conference on political communication at the University of Salamanca and unleashed a crossing of declarations between Spain and Argentina. “I have seen Milei on TV, when she came out I don’t know in what state, prior to ingesting or after ingesting what substances,” said the Spanish politician in said presentation.
“If I had had the slightest notion, and this is perhaps my big mistake, that it would have the dissemination and impact that it has had, I wouldn’t have said it,” said Puente. at a press conference after a council of ministers.

The Spanish minister explained that he said that because he was in front of an audience of no more than 200 people at a university, and noted that at the end of his comment he praised Milei because her “authenticity is a value that citizens appreciate.” Besides, He considered that “there has been a lot of overreaction on this issue”.
Puente recalled that on Monday the Argentine presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni considered the topic “finished.” “I am sure that regardless of the vicissitudes that the relations between the two governments go through, which will sometimes be better, other times worse, they will continue to be good, positive and collaborative relations,” added the Spanish official.
Milei plans to participate on May 19 in an event of the Spanish far-right party Vox in Madrid, and has not scheduled a meeting with Sánchez during the trip, according to the Argentine presidency.

The Argentine presidency reacted with a harsh statement in which accused Pedro Sánchez’s government of having “endangered the middle class” with its socialist policies that only bring poverty and death”.
