An Unexpected Encounter
There are people who don’t need to know each other for a long time to develop a complicity that becomes obvious at first glance, an undeniable complicity. This is the feeling conveyed by the Argentine president, Javier Milei, and the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, in their meeting last Friday afternoon. At this meeting, Ayuso presented Milei with the International Medal of the region, all this amid strong diplomatic tension between Argentina and Spain after Milei’s visit last month, where he criticized the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez , and his wife, Begoña Gómez.
Reactions and Media Coverage
The meeting between Ayuso and Milei has generated a lot of anticipation and has been widely covered by the Spanish media. The covers of El País, El Mundo, l’ABC, La Razón, La Vanguardia and El Periódico show images of the two protagonists with looks of complicity and private conversations in the ear, all the while fueling the public’s curiosity about the content of these conversations
The Featured Moment
The newspaper El País highlights the moment when Ayuso hands over the medal to Milei, while La Vanguardia opts for the image of Milei and Ayuso greeting a group of people from the balcony of the seat of the Madrid government. This image has generated some controversy, since, according to some videos circulating on social networks, it seems that the group of congregants was not as numerous as it was shown on the cover of La Vanguardia.
He Speech of Mercy
Milei’s speech was forceful, criticizing socialism and the left in general, claiming that they come from the future to warn of the harm and decay that he says socialism causes. This has generated various interpretations and reactions in the media.
Other Featured Topics
Other media such as La Razón have highlighted other relevant issues of the day, such as the complication of the amnesty to Puigdemont due to the ‘Russian plot’, generating an intense debate on this issue.
