This Saturday, the president of Argentina, Javier Milei, will deliver the closing speech at the Madrid Economic Forum 2026, an event that brings together economists, businessmen, and far-right politicians, and which began with a meeting with Santiago Abascal, leader of the Vox party. Milei’s fifth trip to Spain started this Friday with his arrival in Madrid, and does not include meetings with members of the Spanish Government, according to the agenda published by the Argentine Presidency. In June of last year, Milei attended the same Madrid Economic Forum, where he railed against socialism while the audience hurled insults at the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez. Milei’s first scheduled activity was a meeting of approximately 50 minutes with Abascal at the hotel in the Spanish capital where he is staying. He attended dressed in a jumpsuit from the Argentine hydrocarbon company YPF, and neither of them spoke to the media, according to the newspaper El País. He then had another meeting scheduled with the economist Jesús Huerta de Soto, whom the Argentine president frequently mentions as a model to emulate. After his speech at the forum tonight, the president of Argentina will participate in the award ceremony recognising Ludwig von Mises, an Austrian economist who influenced the creation of the ultra-liberal model promoted by Milei and other far-right leaders.
