“I never talk about politics,” said Reynés, asked about Milei’s words this Sunday in which, at an event of the European extreme right in Madrid, he called the wife of the Spanish president “corrupt” and Sánchez “ ilk.”
In a talk organized by the newspaper Cinco Días in Madrid, Reynés endorsed the words of the president of the CEOE employers’ association, Antonio Garamendi, critical of the words of the Argentine president. “As members of the employers’ association, we fully subscribe to the words that its president said this morning,” indicated the first executive of Naturgy.
Garamendi has assured that “they are statements that are out of character”, that they do not correspond to a “diplomatic message” and that it was not “the place or place” to make them.
Due to the Argentine’s words, the Government has decided to call for consultations the Spanish ambassador in Buenos Aires, and the Argentine ambassador in Madrid, from whom it has demanded “apologies.”

Pepe Álvarez (UGT), on Milei’s statements: “It is not normal that he comes to insult us as if we were a colony”
The general secretary of UGT, Pepe Álvarez, was very critical this Monday of Javier Milei’s statements at a Vox event in Madrid this weekend. “What is not normal is that the president of Argentina comes to our country and, as if we were a colony of the kingdom of Argentina, decides to insult us and our Government, beyond the tirade of ideological issues, which I believe “It is not within their right to do them,” he declared before participating in a meeting organized by the union and the General Council of the Judiciary.
Álvarez has shown his “absolute rejection” of the statements of the Argentine president, which he has considered “interference in internal issues of our country” and has shown his “solidarity with the workers” of Argentina. “We are not going to break with the unions,” he said, “which are suffering from a situation of absolutely unknown poverty.” A situation, the UGT leader has considered, that “is going to worsen substantially” in the coming years according to Milei’s “recipes.” In any case, he stated, “that is a question that they are going to decide.”

The commons present an initiative to recover night trains
Comuns Sumar has presented a Non-Law Proposal (PNL) for the “recovery and promotion of night trains” and its “debate in the Transport and Sustainable Mobility Commission”.
According to criticism in the text, signed by Aina Vidal and deputies Júlia Boada and Fèlix Alonso, Renfe suspended night services during the COVID-19 pandemic and has not recovered them since. “To decarbonize the transportation sector, the use of the railway is imperative,” they argue. “Meanwhile, in Europe not only do night trains run normally, but different EU countries are betting on this model, which is more ecological and with good results.”
From Comuns Sumar they urge to declare the public service obligation for night train journeys, to carry out a recovery plan for these journeys and to inventory the reduction in emissions that these journeys would entail compared to domestic flights.

Irene Montero: “If Spain has shown its diplomatic strength with Milei, it has the obligation to do so with Israel”
The political secretary of Podemos, Irene Montero, has demanded this Monday that the Government show the same forcefulness with the Government of Israel that it has shown with Argentina in the face of the insults of its president, Javier Milei, to the Spanish executive. “If Spain has shown its diplomatic strength with Milei, it has the obligation to do so with Israel,” she said in the presentation of the main lines of the Podemos program for the European elections.
Podemos has reacted in this way to the call for consultations ordered by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, to the Spanish ambassador in Argentina, after Milei’s words against the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and against Begoña Gómez, his partner . “If Spain is able to call the ambassador in Argentina for consultations, it has the obligation to break diplomatic relations with Israel because what Israel is doing is much more serious,” Montero defended.
The Minister of Equality has also criticized businessmen for meeting this weekend with Milei, whom she has not considered a “president” but rather a “manager of billionaires.” “She has come to meet with her bosses,” she said in her speech in which she criticized that the “main companies” of the country “wash the face” of a character “so violent and sinister.” . “These companies cannot later put on a purple ribbon or an LGTBI flag because yesterday they whitewashed a character who defends the opposite,” she maintained.
