Milei praises post-Allende Chile and attacks Sánchez and the EU

After the overthrow of the communist (Salvador) Allende, Chile entered a period of stability and growth that lasted over 40 years, and thanks to this it was undoubtedly the envy of the entire region in economic terms.

This was stated by Argentine President Javier Milei speaking at an international right-wing forum in Santiago, Chile where he also once again attacked Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the government of "bureaucrats" of the European Union.

In his statement on Chile, the ultra-liberal leader also includes the 17 years of military dictatorship led by General Augusto Pinochet who overthrew Allende and governed until 1990, committing countless crimes for human rights violations.

In his speech at the event organized by the Madrid Forum, Milei then returned to attacking the Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez - quoted as "Pedrito" - stating that his "is a government of thieves". “Pedrito is dirtier than a potato, and he was so offended when I told him that, together with all the scum around him, this is a government of thieves, but apparently the facts confirm it,” he said.

"Unfortunately, Europe, the cradle of our civilisation, is governed at a national and supranational level by bureaucrats determined to destroy everything we are", added Milei, perhaps without taking into account the recent signing of the important EU-Mercosur trade agreement.
