Argentine President Javier Milei confirmed he will travel to Brazil on July 25 to participate in a political rally supporting far-right presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro. The visit underscores the strong political ties between Milei and the Bolsonaro family.
During his trip, Milei also plans to meet with former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in Brasilia. This engagement highlights Milei's consistent public support for Jair Bolsonaro, a relationship marked by shared political ideologies.
On the 25th I travel to Brazil. If Flávio Bolsonaro is nominated presidential candidate, I will be in São Paulo and I will also make a stop in Brasília to greet Jair Bolsonaro.
The announcement comes amid notable political and ideological differences between Milei and the current Brazilian President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Milei previously hosted Flávio Bolsonaro at the presidential residence in Olivos on June 30, publicly expressing his support for the senator's potential candidacy for the October presidential elections.
Milei also outlined other upcoming international engagements. He is scheduled to return to Buenos Aires on July 26 for the official inauguration of the Rural Exhibition. Subsequently, on July 28, he will travel to Peru to attend the inauguration of President-elect Keiko Fujimori. Milei stated that these international trips are part of his strategy to expand Argentina's global reach and attract investments.
The blue tide is coming for Brazil with Flávio Bolsonaro.
