Argentine President Javier Milei’s “Conservative Fascist” Commentary on Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s Policies Draws Questioning and Confusion

In an interview with CNN en Español on Thursday, Argentine President Javier Milei accused Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of being “ignorant” and a “conservative fascist”. López Obrador responded by questioning how intelligent Argentines could vote for someone who was inaccurate and despised the people.

López Obrador expressed his confusion over Milei’s comments, especially considering the offensive remarks he had made towards other world figures, including accusing Pope Francis of being a communist. Despite this, the Mexican president did not announce any retaliatory measures against Argentina.

Milei defended his comments by citing examples of López Obrador’s past attacks on other leaders, such as Colombian President Gustavo Petro. However, López Obrador reiterated his confusion over why Argentines would vote for someone who had made such disparaging remarks about important figures like Pope Francis.

In conclusion, despite the ongoing exchange of words between Milei and López Obrador, the Mexican president did not announce any official action against Argentina. López Obrador has previously emphasized that he would not sever ties with Argentina despite any differences between the two leaders.
