Ayuso and Milei, an untimely meeting concluded with an enthusiastic hug

Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the President of Madrid, met with Argentine President Javier Milei in a low-key encounter, avoiding significant media attention. This meeting comes at a politically sensitive time for the right-wing parties ahead of the upcoming elections. Milei's controversial reputation poses a risk of mobilizing leftist opposition, which the PSOE is keen to exploit by linking him to the PP's policies. Despite the lack of formal announcements, Ayuso and Milei shared a friendly embrace during their private meeting, contrasting with the silence from other PP members. The meeting took place in a newly prepared government space, reflecting a desire for discretion amid ongoing protests against housing issues in Spain.
