Santiago Abascal has conveyed this Wednesday to Javier Milei his support for the insults that the Argentine president has directed at Pedro Sánchez during his visit to Madrid. "All very well said," responded the leader of the far-right Vox in a video call disseminated by the Argentine Presidency and later shared by himself on his social media.
The conversation shows how Abascal justifies the disqualifications against the President of the Government. After explaining that the press had asked him about them, the far-right leader responds "What insults?" and recalls that he also calls Sánchez "tyrant" and "autocrat." "It seems to me that it gets too close to reality," he argues to defend Milei having called him "dictator."
The Argentine president celebrates the exchange with laughter. "There's nothing more fun than kicking leftist asses," he states, before assuring that his adversaries are upset because they don't like to hear the truth. Later, he recalls that he has also called Sánchez "thief," which receives Abascal's approval.
Milei participates in the call from the Madrid headquarters of the Disenso Foundation, linked to Vox, where he met with the party's vice president and secretary general, Ignacio Garriga; the foundation's director and MEP, Jorge Martín Frías; and José María Figaredo, spokesperson for Economy, Energy and Deregulation of the formation. Abascal, connected from a vehicle, disseminated the video with the comment "He's occupying my office...!" and a laughing emoji.

Absence in Madrid does not prevent support for Milei
The call begins with a joke from the Argentine president about versions of a distancing between them. "They say you don't love me anymore," Milei tells him. "That's why you're in my office," Abascal replies, explaining that he is touring northern Spain in a van. Vox has justified the absence of a face-to-face meeting due to his leader's pre-campaign commitments in A Coruña and Avilés, while he has reiterated that Milei is his "friend and political ally."
Abascal also vindicates Disenso's role in the relationship between them and in Vox's international expansion. "That's the foundation that put us on your track," he states during the conversation. The leader thanks the Argentine president for both his visit and the speech he had delivered that morning, in which he lashed out at Sánchez and called to "kick the socialists out."
These statements have provoked the condemnation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the "insults and slanders" and the call for the use of violence. José Manuel Albares' department has rejected interference and attacks against Spanish democratic institutions. During the afternoon, Milei did hold a face-to-face meeting with Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who received him with a hug in the facilities of Canal de Isabel II.
The conversation with Abascal also includes a direct appeal to the general elections on November 29. "Let's see if on the 29th people don't stay home and we manage to give the world good news," says the ultra leader. Both have agreed to meet again on a future visit by Milei to Spain or when Abascal can travel to Argentina.
