Maya Fernández calls Milei’s remarks an “aggression” against Chile and demands a firm response

Maya Fernández described Javier Milei’s remarks as an “aggression” against Chile and called for a firm response from the Foreign Ministry. Speaking to Cooperativa’s Lo Que Queda del Día, the former defense minister and former lawmaker criticized comments made by the Argentine president during the opening of a regional Madrid Forum meeting in Las Condes.

Milei attacked the political left and justified the coup that overthrew President Salvador Allende on Sept. 11, 1973. His remarks drew criticism across Chile’s political spectrum, including from figures associated with Chile Vamos.

Fernández, Allende’s granddaughter, said Milei had crossed the limits of respect expected from a foreign head of state while visiting Chile. She argued that the comments targeted more than a former president.

“It is not appropriate for a president from another country to come and attack our history, attack Chilean men and women, because it was not only an attack against a democratically elected president of the Republic,” Fernández said. Her remarks framed the dispute as an affront to Chile’s historical memory and to Chileans themselves.
