Far-right rally in Madrid attracts the presence of Argentine politician Javier Milei amid ongoing Spain-related disputes
In a move that has further strained relations between Argentina and Spain, President Javier Milei is scheduled to participate in the Europa Viva 2025 rally in Madrid this weekend. The gathering, organised by Patriots for Europe, the largest far-right faction in the European Parliament, is expected to attract thousands of attendees.
This political gathering comes after a series of inflammatory comments made by Milei towards Spanish Prime Minister Pedro SΓ‘nchez. In June, during a visit to an economic forum in Madrid, Milei escalated tensions by labelling the Spanish Prime Minister a "crook." This remark led Spain to recall its ambassador from Buenos Aires, leaving the diplomatic post vacant for five months.
In May 2024, Milei described the Spanish Prime Minister's wife as having a "corrupt" background at a Madrid far-right convention. His attendance at the Europa Viva 2025 rally, announced by Spanish far-right party Vox, has been met with criticism from Spain.
The European far-right landscape is fragmented across three main blocs. The Europa of Sovereign Nations, a smaller faction, encompasses Germany's Alternative for Deutschland (AfD). The European Conservatives and Reformists group, which includes Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's party, competes with Patriots for Europe in the European political landscape. Patriots for Europe is led by Jordan Bardella of France's National Rally.
Notably, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor OrbaΜn and France's Marine Le Pen participated in a similar Madrid event under the banner "Make Europe Great Again" in February. However, as of now, the search results do not provide information about a specific politician participating in the Europa Viva 2025 demonstration by the right-wing party alliance Patriots for Europe in Madrid.
The Europa Viva 2025 rally is part of a series of international far-right gatherings in the city. Milei is listed among "international leaders" in the rally, according to Spanish far-right party Vox. The upcoming event is set to be a significant gathering for the European far-right, with a focus on promoting their ideologies and strengthening their alliances.
