President Miley of Argentina is heading to Germany this weekend for his first trip since taking office. The visit has been downplayed, with no military honors or press conference scheduled after his meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Originally billed as a visit from one of Germany’s key economic partners in Latin America, the program has been changed to a work visit according to recent updates.
President Miley’s trip to Spain earlier this week caused some controversy following his remarks about the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Despite this, he is set to receive an award from a neoliberal think tank in Spain before heading to Germany. This Friday, he will visit Madrid to receive the annual award from the Juan de Mariana Institute, a conservative think tank. Following this, he will travel to Germany to receive a medal from the Friedrich August von Hayek society, which has ties to supporters of the far-right party AfD in Germany.
The purpose of President Miley’s visit is to strengthen economic partnerships and recognize his efforts as a reformer in line with economic pioneers like Ludwig Erhard, Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher. Despite any controversies surrounding his remarks, Miley’s trip to Europe highlights his commitment to diplomatic relations and economic cooperation with key partners in the region. These engagements will be crucial in shaping Argentina’s foreign policy agenda and economic partnerships moving forward.
