The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, said that he has nothing to talk about with the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, because he considers him a “dictator” who is trying to make the presidential election on July 28 “his own.”
“I have nothing to talk to Nicolás Maduro because for me he is a dictator,” Milei responded in an interview broadcast this Sunday on the American channel Univision.
Asked if he will recognize the result of the Venezuelan elections, the Argentine president responded: “It seems to me that there will have to be a battle to control the election because the regime is trying to make it its own.”
Venezuela will hold elections in July in which Maduro will seek re-election for the second time against an opposition that has seen problems competing, such as the disqualification that prevents María Corina Machado, elected in primaries as a presidential candidate, from seeking public office, and of the obstacles that, according to the opposition alliance Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD), they suffered in nominating Corina Yoris, who had been the first option to replace the anti-Chavista leader.
On the other hand, after having called him a “murderous terrorist” a month ago, Milei definitively closed the conflict with the Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, as he said that both governments have understood that the ties between Argentines and Colombians are “much stronger.” .
That and other insults during the last months of the Argentine president against his Colombian counterpart caused a bilateral diplomatic crisis that led Petro to call his ambassador in Buenos Aires, Camilo Romero, for consultations in Bogotá, and to threaten with the expulsion of diplomats from the Embassy. from Argentina to Colombia
A diplomatic confrontation that was settled on April 19, when the foreign minister in charge of Colombia, Luis Gilberto Murillo, received his Argentine counterpart, Diana Mondino, in Bogotá. EFE
