Milei will pass through Gran Canaria before attending the great event of the European extreme right

The most disruptive politician on the international scene in recent months steps into Gran Canaria this Friday. Javier Milei will make a stopover on the island before visiting Madrid, where he will attend the 'Europa Viva 24' event, the great meeting of the European extreme right before the European elections on June 9.

 

According to his agenda, Milei will not meet with Felipe VI or Pedro Sánchez. The latter was much more predictable after the hookup between the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, and the Government of Argentina due to Puente's insinuations about an alleged drug addiction problem on the part of Milei. 

 

 

Some statements that Argentina responded to officially in a letter in which Begoña Gómez was also named in the middle of Sánchez's reflection stage, when he was still not clear about whether or not he wanted to continue being president of the Government of Spain. A threat of a diplomatic crisis that ended up coming to nothing.

 

Milei will meet in Madrid with Abascal, Marine LePen and other European liberal leaders during the largest event of the far right just three weeks before the European elections. In addition, he will have a meeting at the Argentine Embassy with directors of Spanish companies such as Telefónica, Mapfre or Banco Santander, which just a few days ago suffered a computer attack in which the data of its clients in Spain and in South American countries such as Chile or Uruguay.

 

The stopover in Gran Canaria will be merely symbolic, even shorter than Xi Jinping's in 2016, when he made a 20-hour stopover on the island and even had time to shake hands with Antonio Morales after cancelling a visit to the Columbus Museum due to an incident at a thermal power plant in China.

 

As stipulated, Milei will not leave the airport during the hours in which the Argentine presidential plane (a Boeing 757-256 that is more than 20 years old and acquired in 2023 by Alberto Fernández) carries out maintenance and refueling work, although having Taking into account the unpredictable and irreverent character of the Argentine leader, it still surprises and makes him expressly aware of some of the virtues of the island.
