Summary
Tension grows between Brazil and Argentina; Lula withdraws his ambassador after Milei's remarks. But the Brazilian ambassador Julio Bitelli, called back for consultations the previous week, remained in Brazil and did not immediately return to Buenos Aires. Although the bilateral relationship already oscillated between distance and institutional coldness, few expected Milei to attack Lula so directly, amid the launch of his direct rival, Flávio Bolsonaro, as presidential candidate.
Furthermore, Milei also complained that Lula did not congratulate him after his triumph in the presidential elections at the end of 2023 and accused him of having intervened "actively for the other candidate to win the election.". July 30: "Nonsense," Lula's first direct response. After days of silence and snubbing, Lula finally spoke about the dispute with Milei. But not only were there no apologies, but Milei insisted on discrediting Lula.
