Far-right demonstration in Madrid sees attendance from Argentina's Milei

In a series of events that have dominated headlines, far-right leader Milei found himself at the centre of a diplomatic crisis with Spain last year. The crisis was initiated due to Milei's comments about Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's wife being corrupt, during a visit to an economic forum in the Spanish capital.

As a result, the diplomatic crisis lasted for five months, culminating in Spain recalling its ambassador. However, it's important to note that the AfD party, a significant force in Germany's political landscape, is not specifically linked to any diplomatic crisis or controversial comments.

Meanwhile, the Europa Viva 2025 event, organised by the European Parliament's largest far-right group, has been making waves. The event, held in Madrid, saw the attendance of Milei, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and France's Marine Le Pen. No specific information about other performers besides Milei is available at this time.

The Europa Viva 2025 event details, such as Milei's arrival date and other attendees, were not specified in the statement. It's worth mentioning that this event is separate from the upcoming Patriots for Europe rally, led by Jordan Bardella of France's National Rally.

In a surprising turn of events, another far-right party, Vox from Spain, expects thousands to attend a rally called Patriots for Europe this weekend. Milei is expected to attend this rally as well.

It's crucial to note that the Patriots for Europe and the Europe of Sovereign Nations, a smaller third bloc that includes the AfD party which surged to second in this year's German elections, are separate entities. The Europe of Sovereign Nations is not mentioned in relation to the Europa Viva 2025 event.

The Patriots for Europe rally and the Europa Viva 2025 event are separate events, with the latter taking place before the former. The Europa Viva 2025 event in Madrid was attended by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and France's Marine Le Pen under the slogan "Make Europe Great Again".

In a previous incident, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and France's Marine Le Pen attended a similar event in Madrid in February. The diplomatic crisis between Milei and Spain serves as a stark reminder of the polarizing influence of far-right leaders in European politics.
