The spat began when Spain’s transport minister said Argentina’s Javier Milei took drugs during last year’s election.
Spain and Argentina have their diplomatic daggers drawn and have traded jibes over drug use and economic decline.
The spat began on Friday when Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente, during a panel discussion in Salamanca, suggested that Argentina’s President Javier Milei had ingested “substances” during last year’s election campaign.
“I saw Milei on television” during the campaign, Puente told a Socialist Party conference.
“I don’t know if it was before or after the consumption … of substances.”
He also listed Milei among some “very bad people” who have reached high office.
