The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, traveled to Madrid this Friday to receive the region’s International medal from the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
An act that has provoked all kinds of reactions in Spain, but also beyond its borders. In the United Kingdom, the newspaper The Telegraph has published an extensive analysis of what happened to the Argentine leader.
The British tabloid has claimed that Ayuso “has been accused of ‘deep disloyalty’ in Spain.” “He received Milei on Friday despite the fact that he recently launched a speech against the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, calling him ‘totalitarian’ and ‘coward’“, he reported.
The Telegraph explained that Milei has become “in a deeply divisive figure in his country as he implements drastic reforms to revive the economy“.
After detailing that the Argentine president was going to travel to Madrid to receive an award from a group of “ultraliberal experts”, he noted that Ayuso announced that “he would present him with the International Medal of the Madrid region, citing the ‘deep historical, cultural interest, linguistic and economic links’ between the Spanish capital and Argentina“.
The British media has explained that sources from the Spanish Government have assured them that the act of the Madrid leader was “immense disloyalty“and they have warned that any insult from Milei will receive”the right answer“.
He has also explained the refusal of Milei’s request for an audience with King Felipe VI because it was not an official visit. “The request was rejected“, they have pointed out.
The Telegraph He has not bitten his tongue even a bit and has ended up defining Ayuso as “a conservative agitator” that “has established herself as a direct enemy of Sánchez“.
