President
Javier Milei
described as "a compliment" the repeated questions from his Mexican counterpart
Andrés Manuel López Obrador
, who on more than one occasion criticized the economic policy implemented in Argentina by La Libertad Avanza.
When asked about the comments made by the president of Mexico about his administration, the libertarian responded: "It is a compliment
that an ignorant person like López Obrador speaks badly of me, it exalts me."
The short circuits between Milei and López Obrador are not new, since the Mexican president has a different vision of the role of the State and on several occasions said he maintains a friendship with former president Alberto Fernández, whom he received in Mexico at the beginning of March.
On that occasion, the Mexican president was asked during a press conference about his opinion regarding Javier Milei's government, but he avoided answering.
"I cannot express myself about what is happening in Argentina because it is a democratically elected government, it was the Argentines who decided to have that government," he said.
During an interview with CNN, the President was consulted about the accusations of the official candidate of Mexico
Claudia Scheinbaum
, who will compete on June 2 in the presidential elections in Mexico, after the leader accused him of representing "a setback in Argentina ".
"You have to see, because if Kirchnerism was good, I tell you that in the 90s Argentina had an average salary of 1,800 dollars, which in today's currency would be 3,000 dollars. Today the average salary in Argentina is 600 dollars and I am exaggerating, it is even less. It means that
the populism that they praise so much
, the socialism of the 21st century,
cost Argentines 80% of their income
and has brought the number of poor to more than 50%," Milei sentenced.
