New Actor: Milei Endorses Bolsonaro, Brazil Recalls Ambassador

Argentina’s president Javier Milei flew to São Paulo for the Liberal Party’s national convention and endorsed Flávio Bolsonaro for president. In his speech he called President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva a “thief” and “socialist trash,” and accused Lula’s government of meddling in Argentina’s 2023 election and of jailing opponents.

Brazil’s government condemned the attack and recalled its ambassador to Argentina. The head of Brazil’s Supreme Court also issued a rebuke after Milei insulted Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

Milei said he had planned to visit Jair Bolsonaro during the trip, but Justice Alexandre de Moraes blocked the visit. He repeated his accusations in a radio interview the next day.
