On May 21, Argentine Presidential Spokesperson Manuel Adorni affirmed that Argentina will not take any diplomatic measures in response to Spain's recall of its Ambassador. The Argentine government has never intended to withdraw its Ambassador from a "brotherly" country like Spain.

According to the spokesman, there is no diplomatic conflict between Buenos Aires and Madrid, and the current crisis is only a personal matter between Argentine President Javier Milei and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, which will not create tension in relations between the two countries.

Sharing the same view, Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondino said that personal relationships between leaders should not be allowed to affect bilateral relations.

The problem between the two countries flared up after President Milei used strong words that Spain considered offensive to Prime Minister Sánchez and his wife.

The Spanish government immediately recalled its ambassador in Buenos Aires and demanded a public apology from Argentina.

Although the Argentine government spokesman and the country's Foreign Minister are trying to calm the situation, Mr. Milei himself continues to make statements that risk escalating tensions.
