Madrid: Spain on Monday demanded a "public apology" from Argentina's President Javier Milei for calling Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's wife "corrupt" amidst a deepening diplomatic crisis.
The socialist government has already recalled its ambassador to Buenos Aires and Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said on Cadena Ser radio that he would summon the Argentine ambassador on Monday.
"I am going to explain to him the gravity of the situation and I am going to demand again a public apology by Javier Milei," Albares said.
Albares said would not exclude the rupture of diplomatic ties with Argentina if no apology was made.
"We clearly do not want to take these measures but if there is no public apology, we will do it," the minister said.
