The Brazilian government’s response to the statements made by Argentine President Javier Milei gained wide coverage in the Argentine press. Channel C5N and several newspapers highlighted the Itamaraty’s decision to summon the Argentine ambassador in Brasília and to call in for consultations the Brazilian ambassador in Buenos Aires, describing the episode as a serious diplomatic escalation.
The Brazilian government expressed strong discontent with Milei’s statements during the PL convention in São Paulo, when the Argentine president launched attacks on President Lula, on Minister Alexandre de Moraes, on Brazilian institutions, and declared support for Jair Bolsonaro and the candidacy of Flávio Bolsonaro.
