Ayuso asks for “respect” for Milei because he is a president “elected by the ballot box” and praises his administration: “Argentina is the fastest growing country in all of Latin America”

Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, met with Argentine President Javier Milei in Madrid on Wednesday to discuss his administration and political standing. During the encounter, Ayuso publicly defended the legitimacy of Milei’s presidency, emphasizing that he was democratically elected by the Argentine people and deserves institutional respect.

Ayuso utilized the meeting to contrast Milei’s electoral mandate with criticisms from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). She rejected recent political critiques directed at the Argentine leader, characterizing them as unwarranted lectures from a party she described as the 'party of paid love,' while also highlighting her view that Argentina is currently experiencing significant economic growth within the region.
