Argentina's Milei insults Spain's Sánchez during Madrid visit

In October 2026, Argentina's Javier Milei visited Madrid and called Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez a "dictator" and a "thief," and said socialists should be "kicked out." Spain's foreign ministry rejected the remarks as attacks and insults, accused Milei of foreign interference, and called his behavior "unworthy." Milei's visit also drew attention away from opposition figures Feijóo and Abascal. Sánchez responded ironically, using a song by Lali Espósito.
