The Spanish president said the measure would not seek to “harm millionaires” but rather “protect the middle and working classes from a system that continues to be extraordinarily unfair.” For Milei, the announcement is a combination of “deep envy, fatal arrogance and ignorance of economic issues in one sentence, which is chilling.”

In the presentation, the leader of the PSOE considered that the tax on big millionaires aims to promote local work and reduce inequality. “Regardless of what some people think, Spain will be a better country if it has more electric cars, made in Spain, more public buses and therefore more public transport and fewer Lamborghinis,” he argued.

Sánchez’s proposal sparked a new criticism from Milei towards state interventionism. The libertarian economist asked that the Spanish people be protected from the Spanish president, whom he considered a “wealth predator”.

The clashes between Javier Milei and Pedro Sánchez

It is not the first time that the Argentine President lashes out at his pair of Spain. It should be remembered that in May both were involved in an international scandal for cross accusations which led to the withdrawal of the Spanish ambassador in the country, Maria Jesus Alonso Jimenez.

The diplomatic crisis began in May, when Spain’s Transport Minister, Oscar Puente, suggested that Milei ingested “substances.” “I have seen Milei on TV, when she came out I don’t know in what state, before or after ingesting what substances,” said the politician.

Puente’s words had repercussions in Argentina and generated rejection from the Government. Days later, the Spanish official admitted that his words were a mistake and that if he knew the impact it would have “I wouldn’t have said it”However, the conflict did not cease, but on the contrary, it was going to have an even more tense chapter.

During the closing of Europa Viva 24, an event organized by the far-right party Vox, Milei He accused the wife of the Spanish president, Begoña Gómez, of being “corrupt” for alleged influence peddling based on a judicial investigation against her. “What a bunch of people who are stuck in power. Even if they have the corrupt womangets dirty and takes five days to think about it,” he said. Milei.

The Spanish government authorities formally requested an apology that never came, which escalated the conflict to unprecedented levels for the relationship between the two countries. Pedro Sánchez did not dodge the issue and considered that “among governments, affections are free but Respect is non-negotiable“.

Since then, the relationship between the two countries has abandoned diplomacy and has been cut off at the root. Today, in a new chapter of the conflict, Milei continued to criticize Sánchez and revived the tension.
