Milei insists on attacking Sánchez: "I have Pedrito in 'match point'"
Tension rises and Milei insists on the criticism while he warns that he does not intend to cancel his trip to Spain on June 21st. Find out the latest developments.
Hours after Spain announced the definitive withdrawal of its ambassador in Buenos Aires, the Argentine president Javier Milei attacked the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, once again.
"I already have Pedrito in 'match point'", despite what the progressive media may say", said Milei sarcastically, alluding to the movie Zorro, during a business forum on Tuesday night in Buenos Aires.
In sports, it is worth noting, 'match point' is the decisive point to end the game.
"El Zorro is a great character because he was a fabulous anarcho-capitalist (...). He had two types of enemies: Monasterio and all his soldiers, or the State, let's say he took resources from them to take them to Spain... I am still talking about Spain today. Anyway, I already have Pedrito in 'match point', despite what the progressive media may say", said Milei, amid laughter and applause from the audience.
This was the latest reference from the Argentine president to the Spanish prime minister, but it may not be the last. Milei will present tonight in Buenos Aires the same book he presented last week in Madrid: Capitalism, socialism and the neoclassical trap.
But this will not be an ordinary presentation. The Argentine head of state has booked the Luna Park, a legendary venue for sports and music events.
"Pedro Sánchez hides under women's skirts. He is so cowardly that he had to send women to beat me up", said Milei, this Monday, in an interview with the television channel Todo Noticias (TN), referring to the statements made against him by the second vice-president of the Spanish government, Yolanda Díaz, and by the vice-president of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morant.
The Argentine president attacked his Spanish counterpart again, saying that he "hides under women's skirts" and refuses to apologize "under any circumstances" for the alleged diplomatic crisis.

The response came from Argentina through the voice of the president himself, Javier Milei, who, in statements to the newspaper La Nación, stated that he would keep the Spanish ambassador in the country and that the position taken by Pedro Sánchez's government shows that "socialists are capable of doing anything". And he added: "It is a nonsense typical of an arrogant socialist".
