Javier Milei, who is on his way to the World Economic Forum in Davos, responded to Nicolas Maduro, who said that the Argentine president is a "historic mistake."
"I didn't expect such praise. Maduro's impoverishing socialist saying that I am a historic mistake in Latin America confirms that we are on the right track," he wrote through his X account (formerly Twitter)
The Bolivarian president once again questioned his Argentine counterpart during his annual message to the National Assembly (AN, Parliament), in Caracas.
"I don't want you to rectify it, but I do want you to get this message, that you're wrong... You are a mistake in the history of Latin America, Milei, a fatal mistake in the history of Argentina," he said.
Thus, Maduro pointed to economic policies, accusing the head of state of Argentina of "handing over" the country to the United States and carrying out a strong reduction of the State.
At the end of December, Maduro had described Milei's mega DNU, which deregulates the economy and modifies or repeals around 360 laws, as "madness" and a "disaster," in addition to accusing the libertarian of being "eliminating all the rights" of the Argentine people.
I didn't expect SUCH PRAISE...!!
Maduro's impoverishing socialist saying that I am a historic mistake in Latin America confirms that we are on the right track...!!

"Look at the disaster in Argentina. Have you noticed? Madness! A dictatorial decree by the far-right neo-Nazi president of Argentina eliminating all the rights of the people, ending Argentina's economic sovereignty," Maduro said days ago during an event broadcast on the state channel.
The relationship with Caracas became clear during the election campaign, where the libertarian leader described Maduro's government as a "dictatorship."
Later, the government decided not to appoint an ambassador to Venezuela, the same decision it made with Cuba and Nicaragua.
Foreign Minister Diana Mondino defined the list of political ambassadors she appointed, with a marked difference with the Kirchner administration, she did not appoint diplomats in Havana, Managua and Caracas
