Overview

• Milei labeled Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez a “voyou” (thug) Sunday evening at a libertarian gathering during the Madrid Economic Forum.
• The confrontation rekindles tensions that began last year when Milei accused Sánchez’s wife of corruption, prompting Spain to recall its ambassador.
• Earlier on Sunday, tens of thousands of opposition supporters rallied in Madrid to protest alleged corruption involving Sánchez’s wife, brother and a former aide.
• Sánchez has rejected the investigations as a right-wing smear campaign aimed at toppling his government.
• After his remarks in Madrid, Milei is scheduled to attend the Ocean Summit in Nice for talks with President Emmanuel Macron.
