Milei snubs the King at the start of the Ibero-American Summit and meets with Abascal

Argentinian President Javier Milei arrived in Madrid but will not attend the opening ceremony of the Ibero-American Summit or the royal gala dinner. Instead, he has scheduled a meeting with Vox leader Santiago Abascal. Milei's absence from key events is notable, especially after his recent criticisms of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. His team had requested a meeting with King Felipe VI, which went unanswered. Despite his absence, Milei plans to participate in the summit's discussions tomorrow. The Spanish government aimed to enhance the summit's international presence, but attendance remains lower than expected, with only ten out of twenty-two countries represented by their leaders.
