Overview
- Posting on X on Nov. 21, Argentine President Javier Milei wrote that socialism is always an impoverishing and violent phenomenon.
- Milei’s message included a reposted clip of entrepreneur Martín Varsavsky referencing the Supreme Court ruling against Spain’s former attorney general Álvaro García Ortiz.
- The court condemned García Ortiz to two years’ disqualification, a €7,200 fine and a €10,000 payment to Alberto González Amador for revelation of secrets linked to a Madrid case.
- His remarks were directed at Spain’s government and come in the context of a strained relationship that saw Madrid withdraw its ambassador in 2024 after an earlier dispute.
- The post fits Milei’s pattern of using social media to press an anti‑socialist message grounded in liberty and Judeo‑Christian values, with no new formal diplomatic actions reported.
