Brazil Recalls Ambassador from Argentina After President Milei’s Criticisms

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, …

Brazil has recalled its ambassador from Buenos Aires, Argentina, citing direct criticism from Argentine President Javier Milei against Brazilian authorities and the judiciary. The decision follows President Milei’s recent visit to Brazil, during which he made sharp remarks about the country’s leadership and judicial system.

President Milei arrived in Brazil on Friday for his second visit, reportedly to support the electoral campaign of Flavio Bolsonaro. Flavio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, is launching his campaign to challenge incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the upcoming October elections. President Lula da Silva has been widening his lead over rivals in the pre-election period.

In São Paulo, speaking alongside Bolsonaro, Milei referred to President Lula da Silva as “an individual with a criminal conviction history.” He also described the Brazilian government as “thieving socialists” and lauded the conservative candidate as the only one capable of “stopping Lula.”

One of the informed sources indicated that the Brazilian government views Javier Milei’s statements as a “direct insult.”
