Since her arrival at the San Martín Palace, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, Diana Elena Mondino , was involved in various complicated and inconvenient situations due to her controversial and even unfortunate expressions. The nonsense that we are seeing in terms of international policy of the Milei administration has generated concerns among both Deputies and Senators, who demanded his presence in the Senate of the Nation "in order to present the guidelines of Argentine foreign policy." ". The meeting will be broadcast live on the Senate TV channel starting at 4 p.m. The request occurs within the framework of strong tension with the government of Spain, led by President Pedro Sánchez , after Javier Milei 's insulting remarks at the far-right summit organized by Vox, as pointed out by El Destape.
It should be noted that, within the framework of the 41st Annual Congress of the Argentine Institute of Finance Executives (IAEF), held last Tuesday, Diana Mondino stated that: "The conflict with Spain is not something that will affect the course of Argentina in the coming years." 20 or 30 years, it is an issue that surprised me because I do not think it was an insult to Spain", speaking about the shameful situation that has escalated increasingly in the international arena and that led the Spanish President, Pedro Sánchez , to withdraw to his ambassador from Buenos Aires. Despite this harsh measure by the Spanish government, for Mondino, the issue is “an anecdote”, an “internal and political” matter that cannot affect the relationship between both societies, as reflected by the news portal elDiarioAR.
In the television program La Noche de Mirtha Legrand , the chancellor hinted that: "There may have been some error on one side, not agreement, but there may be, but on the other side the reaction was so disproportionate that it is surprising," she also stated that It was “a personal conflict” between the two leaders, and he accused Pedro Sánchez of associating it with a state issue.
Surely, this conflict will be at the center of the questions that the opposition will ask Chancellor Mondino in the Arturo Illia room, demanding explanations about the latest short circuits with Spain and also with other countries.
It will probably not be the only question that the official will have to answer, since according to what we were able to find out about the Malvinas issue and the position of the Milei government regarding the trip of the former British Prime Minister, David Cameron , to the islands, he will also try to be included in the agenda of questions that the Senator for Tierra del Fuego Pablo Blanco plans to ask; as well as the visit of the Chief of the Southern Command, Laura Richardson ; the failure to put the Malvinas Council into operation; the incessant arrival of foreign troops to our country without authorization from Congress; the disappearance of the Malvinas Question tab from the Foreign Ministry website or the alleged Russian discovery of oil in Antarctica. More than burning issues that Mondino must face on his first visit to the Upper House of the National Parliament.
