Argentina rejects the "defamatory and offensive" statements by Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente, who called Argentine President Javier Millay “a very bad person” and assumed that he was under the influence of certain substances, according to a statement from Millay's office, RIA Novosti reported.
According to Spanish newspaper Mundo, Spain's transport minister advised young people to be themselves, adding that “there are many bad people who have reached the top". Puente cited Miley and former US President Donald Trump as examples.
„I saw Miley on TV and I said to myself, listening to him, that I don't know in what state, before or after taking what substances,”, said the minister.
„The Office of the President rejects the defamatory and insulting statements made by the Minister of Transport of Spain, Oscar Puente, against Javier Millay. The government of Pedro Sánchez has more important problems, for example, the corruption charges against his wife, because of which he even thought of resigning“, responded the office of the Argentine president on the social network X.
Buenos Aires also countered that the Spanish Prime Minister threatened the unity of the country by making pacts with separatists and “endangered Spanish women by allowing illegal migration of those who physically threaten them".< /p>
„Argentinians decided to change a model that brought unhappiness and decline. The same model is applied by the Spanish Socialist Workers Party in your country. "We hope that the Spanish people will soon decide to live freely again," Milley's office continued.
The investigation against the wife of Pedro Sánchez was initiated after receiving a complaint from the organization "Clean Hands", compiled only on the basis of media information. Against this background, the Madrid prosecutor's office appealed the complaint accepted for consideration and requested that the case be dismissed. On Monday, during a press conference, Sanchez said he would not be leaving his post.
