Venezuela is set to hold elections in July, with Maduro seeking reelection amid obstacles faced by the opposition. In an interview with Univision, Milei expressed his strong stance against Maduro, stating that there is nothing to discuss with him. When asked about recognizing the results of the upcoming Venezuelan elections, Milei expressed concerns about the regime trying to control the elections for its own benefit.
The President of Argentina, Javier Milei, has made it clear that he has no interest in engaging with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, whom he considers a dictator. Milei’s comments come in the context of rising tensions between the two countries, particularly after a diplomatic crisis with Colombia. Tensions have since eased between the two governments and Milei had initially called Colombian President Gustavo Petro a “murderous terrorist,” but his stance on dictatorship and commitment to upholding democratic values remain steadfast.
