Brazil's vice president accuses Argentina's Milei of election interference
Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin has accused Argentine President Javier Milei of 'gross' interference in Brazil's domestic politics. Alckmin said Milei did a 'disservice to his own nation' after the Argentine leader criticized President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and campaigned in support of Flavio Bolsonaro. The remarks add to months of friction between the two South American governments.
Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin accused Argentine President Javier Milei on Wednesday of 'gross' interference in Brazil's internal politics, escalating a diplomatic dispute between the two neighboring countries.
Alckmin said Milei was doing a 'disservice to his own nation' after the Argentine leader publicly criticized Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and campaigned in support of Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro. The comments follow a series of pointed exchanges between officials in Brasilia and Buenos Aires in recent months.
Neither Milei's office nor other Argentine officials had issued a public response by Wednesday evening. Analysts say the friction reflects a deeper ideological split between the two governments that could complicate regional cooperation ahead of upcoming South American summits.
