Reinforcements from Argentina have arrived. Before the elections, Milei called the prime minister a "dictator" and a "thief"

Parliamentary elections in Spain will take place on November 29. In recent weeks, the atmosphere before the vote was heated by the story of Maricarmen and the housing crisis, now the Spanish media are largely focusing on the visit of the Argentine president to the country.

I'm not going to meet a criminal and a thief like Pedro Sanchez, because I'm not going to sew my pockets so as not to be robbed, said Milei, quoted by the Europa Press agency.

Argentine media wrote in early October that Milei - considered one of the closest ideological allies of US President Donald Trump - would go to Spain to support the radical right-wing Vox party.

Appearing at the New Economics Forum in Madrid on Wednesday, the controversial politician encouraged people to vote for right-wing opposition parties, calling Vox leader Santiago Abascal and the head of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Diaz Ayuso from the Popular Party (PP) his "friends".

The poster welcomed the Argentine

Sanchez, who announced early parliamentary elections at the beginning of October, reacted to Milei's arrival. Yes, I am a leftist and I am proud of it, he said in a recording published on Wednesday on the X platform.

The Prime Minister used the word "zurdo", which in Spanish means left-handed person. In Argentina, it is also a pejorative term for people with left-wing views. In this context, Milei himself used it many times, calling political opponents, among others, "fucking leftists".

Moreover, on Wednesday, a large poster was hung on the building of the headquarters of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in Madrid with the inscription: "Hello, Milei. Leftists (zurdos y zurdas - note by RMF FM) welcome you to Spain, the fastest growing country in Europe."

Milei has previously criticized Sanchez's wife

Sanchez announced the decision to call early parliamentary elections on November 29. He took it after the government's defeat in a vote in the Congress of Deputies on greater protection for tenants, which was demanded by thousands of demonstrators across the country.
