The Salvadoran president Nayib Bukeleally in the region of Javier Milei, arrived this Thursday in Buenos Aires on a visit with a dual purpose: you will meet your Argentine colleague on Monday for an official agenda and during this weekend he will have a private agenda.
This was confirmed by various high-level official sources. Clarion.
They assured that he was not at the Olivos villa this Thursday night as had initially emerged and confirmed that he will see Milei on Monday. Sources said he is staying with friends.
In fact, recently, when he met with the Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich, Bukele, who was already in Buenos Aires for a study trip for his wife, confessed that It is his favorite city in the whole world. “She is the prettiest of all,” he said, and also pointed out that “It has beautiful buildings like Paris, but it is a bit messy like Latin America“.
“When I went quite a bit (often) because my wife studied there (Gabriela Rodríguez de Bukele), while she was doing her master’s internship in a hospital, I walked around the city,” the president told the Minister of Security.
Bukele and Milei have seen each other several times. And they recognize each other as admirers. The Argentine president, together with his sister Karina Milei, traveled to El Salvador to his second inauguration in early June past.
Last Tuesday Milei had his turn to give his speech before the United Nations General Assembly just before the president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian. In order not to cross him due to his rejection of the Islamic Republic, the bilateral conflict – legal and political – over the Amia cause and the libertarian alliance with Israel, He asked the Salvadoran if he would change his shift and he did. So to reciprocate the gesture to his friend, Milei stayed to listen to Bukele in person at the UNGA campus.
The area of greatest rapprochement between the Milei and Bukele governments is through the Minister of Security the policy of fighting against Las Maras that was applied in El Salvador.
However, in one of his meetings with Bullrich, Bukele himself, known for his extreme harshness in El Salvador – which brought him serious criticism from human rights organizations – has been cautious with Argentina.
“Argentina’s security problem, which exists, is perhaps not as pressing as it was in El Salvador and, therefore, The measures that can be shared by us so that they can be applied in Argentina would not have to be so drastic, because they do not need to solve such a big problem.“he said.
