Spain breaks diplomatic relations with Argentina after “corrupt wife” statements
-
Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albarez announced the severing of direct diplomatic relations with Argentina and the withdrawal of his country's ambassador from Buenos Aires, while maintaining trade relations, against the backdrop of a crisis of statements between the two countries.

Albaris explained in a press statement, today, Tuesday, after the Cabinet meeting, that his country had withdrawn Ambassador Maria Alonso from Buenos Aires, and that there would only be employees for commercial work.

He added that his country summoned the ambassador for consultations in Madrid, and that Argentina will remain without an ambassador until a public apology is made by Argentine President Javier Mele.

This comes after Milley refused to apologize for controversial statements in which he criticized Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and his wife.

Yesterday, Monday, Sanchez accused the Argentine president of “not worthy” of what he described as “fraternal ties” between the two countries.

For his part, Argentine Interior Minister Guillermo Francos insisted on his country's position and said: "There is no apology to offer."

The Argentine President angered the Spanish government during a conference in Madrid organized by the far-right Vox party in Spain.

Milley criticized socialism and attacked Sanchez's wife, Begona Gomez, without mentioning her name.

He said in his speech, "The world's elites do not realize the extent of the destruction that the application of socialist ideas can cause."

"She does not know the type of society and country that could result from this, the type of people who cling to power and the level of abuses this could generate," he added.

"When you have a corrupt wife, you get dirty and take five days to think about it," he explained.

The crisis between the two countries dates back to the beginning of this May, when Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente said that the Argentine president was using drugs and it was impossible for him to win the elections.
