Brazil Summons Ambassador to Argentina Over Milei's Insults to Lula, Moraes

Brazil has summoned its ambassador to Argentina, Julio Bitelli, for consultations following inflammatory remarks made by Argentine President Javier Milei. The decision, confirmed by Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was made after Milei directed insults at Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Supreme Federal Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes during a convention in São Paulo. The ambassador is expected to arrive in Brasília by Monday for meetings with Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira.

During the event, alongside Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, Milei referred to Lula as a "convict" and Moraes as "bald trash." He also claimed Jair Bolsonaro was "unjustly" imprisoned and criticized Moraes' decision to deny him a visit to the former president, labeling it as evidence of the minister's "vindictive character." Milei further predicted an economic crisis in Brazil under Lula's leadership and expressed hope for his defeat in the upcoming elections.

In diplomatic circles, recalling an ambassador for consultations signifies a strong protest against the actions of another state. Brazilian authorities consider Milei's speech, which lasted about half an hour, to have initiated a serious diplomatic crisis between Brazil and Argentina. The remarks have caused significant tension, highlighting a sharp deterioration in bilateral relations.
