Brazil has summoned its ambassador to Argentina, Julio Bitelli, for consultations following a highly critical speech by Argentinian President Javier Milei.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs initiated the move after Milei delivered a strong address at the Liberal Party (PL) convention on Saturday, which formally launched Flavio Bolsonaro‘s 2026 presidential bid, Globonews reported.
During his remarks, the Argentinian leader attacked socialism and praised a conservative “blue wave” currently sweeping South America.
He also sparked outrage by labelling Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes a “bald piece of trash” after being denied a request to visit former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Milei expressed his belief that Brazil would soon join other regional neighbours in electing a right-wing leader.
Right-wing campaign spectacle
