Abascal defends Milei's words calling Sánchez a "dictator": "Puente called the Argentine president a drug addict"

Santiago Abascal, the leader of the Spanish political party Vox, has publicly defended statements made by Argentine President Javier Milei in which Milei referred to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as a "dictador" (dictator).

In his defense of the Argentine leader, Abascal pointed to prior rhetoric from within the Spanish government, recalling that Óscar Puente, Spain's Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, had previously accused the Argentine president of being a drug addict.
