'Rough up local crook': Argentina's Milein insults Spanish PM Sanchez in expletive-laden speech
Argentina President Javier Milei on Sunday renewed his expletive-laden attack on Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, labeling him a 'crook' during a visit to Madrid for an economic forum read more Argentina President Javier Milei on Sunday renewed his expletive-laden attack on Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, labeling him a 'crook' during a visit to Madrid for an economic forum. According to a Buenos Aires Times report, in a fiery speech where he declared 'death to socialism,' Milei intensified the ongoing feud between the two leaders. Their dispute dates back to last year when Milei accused Sánchez's wife of corruption, prompting Spain to withdraw its ambassador from Argentina. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Milei delivered his remarks at the Madrid Economic Forum, a libertarian event with strong connections to cryptocurrency circles. With rock music blaring and some audience members hurling insults at Sánchez, Milei spoke animatedly, taking another jab at the Spanish prime minister, added the report. 'If you want to rough up the local crook too, I've got no problem with it,' Buenos Aires Times quoted Milei as saying, referring to Sanchez. Later in his speech, which centered on defending his administration's economic policies, Milei reacted to audience members who shouted, 'We need you here!' 'I will always be on your side when it comes to opposing the socialist scum,' he was quoted as saying, followed by an expletive referring to Sánchez's party, to thunderous applause. As of late Sunday, Spanish officials had not responded to Milei's remarks, according to Buenos Aires Times report. Milei's comments came just hours after tens of thousands rallied in Madrid at an opposition-led protest, accusing Sánchez's government of corruption. Sánchez's wife, brother, and a former top aide are all under investigation in separate graft cases — probes he has dismissed as a right-wing smear campaign. Milei, who took office in December 2023, has vowed to revive Argentina's ailing economy through aggressive spending cuts and deregulation. While his government recorded the country's first budget surplus in over a decade, rising inflation, job losses, and falling consumer spending have fueled public unease. At the forum, the La Libertad Avanza leader delivered a forceful defence of his economic agenda. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Our goals were very ambitious. They said it was impossible, and now, after a year-and-a-half, we have exceeded all our campaign goals. They told us it was impossible to make a five-point adjustment in a month, and we did it,' the president was quoted as saying. 'The model is definitely working. Therefore, what I want to leave you with is the testimony that the ideas of freedom work,' Milei said. 'We know what needs to be done, we know how to do it. Therefore, let us not lack the courage to do it, because we are the ones who can get everyone back on their feet,' continued the president, whose speech was widely applauded. Milei also declared that 'by 2026, inflation in Argentina will be a thing of the past.' 'Today, Argentina has embraced the path of growth. In 40 years, it will be the world's leading power, without a doubt,' he claimed. As is typical, President Milei, who refuses to hold press conferences, took aim at the media, denouncing 'corrupt journalists who spread filthy news'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We don't have enough real journalists,' he added. Milei arrived in Madrid on Saturday from Rome, where he met with Pope Leo XIV, as part of a 10-day tour of Europe and Israel. During his visit, he also met with Santiago Abascal, his political ally and leader of Spain's far-right Vox party. No meeting with Prime Minister Sánchez is scheduled. On Sunday, Milei also held talks with Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia, who has been living in exile in Spain since September. With inputs from agencies

Secret documents on Nazis who fled to Argentina after WWII being declassified
Argentina is set to declassify all government-held files relating to Nazi fugitives who fled and settled in Argentina after World War II, according to reports. The documents will likely include Nazi-linked bank accounts and archival records detailing the use of Nazi "ratlines" which were monetary and logistic pathways Nazis used to escape justice and flee Argentina following the war. Guillermo Alberto Francos, Argentina's interior minister, made the announcement Tuesday, the Buenos Aires Times reported citing DNEWS. Hitler Wwii 'Escape' Investigated By The Cia, Bombshell Document Reveals It is estimated that up to 10,000 Nazis and other fascist war criminals escaped justice for Holocaust atrocities by fleeing to Argentina and other Latin American countries. Notorious high-level Nazis, including Holocaust mastermind Adolph Eichmann and "angel of death" Josef Mengele, fled to the South American country, while rumors have swirled for years that former Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler also ended up there. Read On The Fox News App The pending release comes after Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, requested their release last month in a letter to Argentinian President Javier Milei. Grassley is investigating Credit Suisse and its historic servicing of the Nazi-linked accounts and ratlines. In the letter, Grassley wrote that the records would help shine a light on the Nazi planning of the covert escape routes. Grassley recently chaired a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing focused on stemming the tide of antisemitism in the U.S. Milei promised officials of the Simon Wiesenthal Center his full cooperation in granting access to the documents. The center is famous for tracking down Nazis and is named after the famed Nazi hunter. 12,000 Nazis Lived In Argentina In 1930S With Swiss Bank Accounts, Newly Discovered Documents Show In 2017, the CIA declassified a document revealed that the intelligence agency investigated the possibility that Adolf Hitler was alive in South America as late as 1955 — nearly a decade after World War II ended. The three-page document, which appears on the CIA's website, highlights a former SS soldier who told spies he had regularly met with Hitler in Colombia. The document suggests that Hitler may have worked as a shipping company employee, prior to potentially fleeing to Argentina. On the second page is a picture of the informant, Phillip Citroen, with a person he claims is Hitler in the mid-1950s. It is not known if the upcoming declassifications by Argentina will shed any light on the Hitler conspiracy. Mainstream historians say Hitler committed suicide by taking a cyanide capsule and shooting himself in Berlin in 1945. His body was later discovered by Soviet soldiers and buried in an unmarked spot. A German court declared Hitler dead, but not until 1956, more than a decade after the war ended. His wife Eva Braun also killed herself by swallowing a cyanide pill. Eichmann, one of the main architects of the Final Solution, escaped Europe after World War II and was living in Argentina under an assumed name when Israeli agents snatched him off a street in 1960. He was later tried and hung in Israel. Mengele, meanwhile, was arrested by U.S. forces in 1945 but released shortly after. He then spent years on the run and was infamous for carrying out brutal medical experiments. He arrived in Argentina in 1949 and lived there for a decade before fleeing to Paraguay and later to Brazil, where he died in 1979. Nazis fled to several countries in the Americas following the war, including to the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In 2020, a cache of documents appeared to identify more than 12,000 Nazis who lived in Argentina in the 1930s and who had one or more bank accounts at what is now Credit Suisse bank. The Simon Wiesenthal Center said the files were found in a storeroom at a former Nazi headquarters in Buenos Aires.
