Observers Question Mexican President’s Reaction to Argentine President’s Disparaging Comments

On Thursday, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador responded to comments made by Argentine President Javier Milei in an interview with CNN en Español. Milei called López Obrador “ignorant” for his past attacks on other leaders like the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro.

López Obrador expressed his confusion as to why Milei would make such disparaging remarks about important figures like Pope Francis, despite the fact that he has also made offensive statements towards other world figures. Despite this, the Mexican president did not announce any official action against Argentina.

In response to Milei’s accusations that he called him a “conservative faco,” López Obrador emphasized that he does not understand how intelligent Argentines could vote for someone who is inaccurate and despises the people. He reiterated his previous statements that he still does not understand why Milei made these comments, especially given his history of making offensive remarks towards other leaders.

Despite ongoing tensions between the two countries, López Obrador has consistently emphasized that he would not sever ties with Argentina despite any differences between the two leaders. In conclusion, while the exchange of words between Milei and López Obrador continues, it remains to be seen whether any official action will be taken against Argentina.
