Spain recalls Argentina ambassador in Milei insult row
3 days ago
Ruth Comerford,

Spain has "definitively" recalled its ambassador to Buenos Aires, in a rapidly escalating row over comments made in Madrid by Argentina's President Javier Milei.
President Milei said the decision was "absurd".
At a far-right rally on Sunday, he had described the wife of Spain's left-wing prime minister Pedro Sánchez as "corrupt", without directly naming Begoña Gómez.
Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares summoned Argentina's ambassador Roberto Bosch the next day to demand a public apology from President Milei, but no action was taken.
Mr Albares described the case as unique in diplomatic history. "There is no precedent for a head of state who goes to another country's capital to insult its institutions and flagrantly interfere in its internal affairs," he said.
