Argentine President Javier Milei attended a convention hosted by Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in São Paulo, a gathering marked by aggressive rhetoric against Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes. Despite the charged atmosphere, Milei exercised a degree of self-control during the event.

The convention, held on Saturday, saw strong criticism directed at Lula and Moraes. However, Milei notably refrained from joining a chorus that called for Lula's imprisonment. This measured approach from the Argentine leader came amidst a backdrop of intense political discourse within the event.

While the event was characterized by strong anti-Lula sentiment, Milei's participation highlighted the complex relationship between the leaders. His presence underscored the political alignments in the region, even as he navigated the contentious speeches with a degree of public restraint.
