Caracas.-“The idiot Milei in Argentina is protesting because we brought forward Christmas. What does that have to do with Venezuela?” With these words, the Venezuelan dictator, Nicolás Maduro, once again attacked the president of Argentina, Javier Milei, in response to his criticism for bringing forward the Christmas holidays to October 1.
“He is making life and Christmas miserable for Argentina and he feels bitter because the people of Venezuela start partying on October 1, the day Christmas begins,” the Chavista leader said ironically.
He also attacked the Argentine administration, mentioning the alleged repression of retirees on Wednesday and criticizing the closure of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo university.
“Milei, the one who orders people to beat up the elderly, the retired, the one who represses the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo and closes and raids the Plaza de Mayo University. The same Milei, ambassador to Palestine, who is the only ruler in the world who has come out to support the bombings against hospitals, children, girls and women in Gaza and the massacre and genocide in Gaza. It is the same Milei, the one with the satanic pacts and the only beautiful thing there is in Argentina is that noble people of Perón, of Evita, of Maradona; Milei will give you a little surprise one day,” said Maduro.
The exchange of insults quickly escalated amid an exchange of statements at the Madrid Forum on Thursday, where Milei called Maduro a “criminal” and denounced the Venezuelan dictatorship as a “human cemetery.”
“At this point it is a human cemetery. They are bringing forward Christmas to October to cover up the fact that they committed the highest electoral fraud in history and now they are imprisoning the person who won the elections while the free world sits back,” said Milei.
“Meanwhile, the free world sits back and does nothing. We must understand once and for all that for evil to triumph, all that is needed is for the righteous to do nothing,” he added.
During his speech at the Madrid Forum, Milei not only focused his speech on Venezuela, but also questioned other leaders in the region, such as the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, whom he called a “tyrant” for supporting what he considered censorship on social networks.
“They want to ban the space where citizens freely exchange their ideas. Who but a tyrant, who is wrong about everything, can endorse such an act of oppression,” he said.
The III Regional Meeting of the Madrid Forum in Buenos Aires hosted a panel on Thursday entitled ‘Venezuela in Freedom’, in which opponents of the Nicolás Maduro regime discussed the present and future of the Caribbean country and agreed on the call for a rebellion by the Army.
The panel was moderated by journalist Nitu Pérez Osuna and included Orlando Avendaño, writer and journalist; Vladimir Petit Medina, writer and university professor; and Alejandro Peña Esclusa, also a writer.
Avendaño described the Maduro regime as “a dictatorship,” although he considered that it is not “a normal dictatorship,” but rather “it is a cartel, it is an organized crime group and it behaves like organized crime.”
“If the international community does not understand this, unfortunately the case of Venezuela will go on forever and will continue to be a focus of regional destabilization,” he added, and concluded: “That is why the Venezuelan cause is not only ours, the Venezuelan cause is a regional cause because the implications are regional.”
“Maduro’s leadership has fallen and cannot be saved,” he said, adding that “the military partner is currently deliberating whether to continue to support the political partner or hand him over.”
For his part, Peña Esclusa, like his colleagues, thanked the Madrid Forum and the Argentine president, Javier Milei, for their support of his cause and for “supporting the Venezuelans.”
The writer expressed his conviction that a rift between the Army and the Government is approaching” and stressed that for this to happen, the international community must recognize González Urrutia as the elected president and pressure the International Criminal Court (ICC) to “issue an arrest warrant against Maduro and his allies.”
“These two conditions would lead to the breakdown of the military and political partners, and that would lead to a change of government in Venezuela,” he said.
On the other hand, he attacked the presidents of Colombia, Gustavo Petro; Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador; and Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; and the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, for “sabotaging” the recognition of the opposition candidate.Infobae.

Venezuela-Argentina Tensions Escalate as Maduro and Milei Exchange Insults
The already strained relationship between Venezuela and Argentina has reached new heights of tension as President Nicolás Maduro and Argentine President Javier Milei engage in a war of words. The exchange of insults began when Milei criticized Maduro’s decision to bring forward Christmas celebrations to October 1, which Maduro responded to with scathing attacks on Milei’s administration [[1]].
Maduro launched a verbal assault on Milei, calling him ”amargado” (bitter) and accusing him of being jealous of Venezuela’s festive atmosphere [[3]]. He also attacked the Argentine administration, alleging repression of retirees and closure of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo university.
The Argentine president, however, was not one to back down. Milei called Maduro a “criminal” and denounced the Venezuelan regime as a “human cemetery” [[2]]. He accused Maduro of committing electoral fraud and imprisoning the winner of the elections, while the international community remains passive.
The tensions escalated further during the Madrid Forum, where Milei questioned other regional leaders, including Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, whom he called a “tyrant” for supporting censorship on social networks [[1]].
Meanwhile, a panel discussion at the Madrid Forum, titled ‘Venezuela in Freedom’, saw opponents of the Maduro regime discuss the present and future of Venezuela and agree on the call for a rebellion by the Army [[1]]. The panelists, including writers and journalists Orlando Avendaño, Vladimir Petit Medina, and Alejandro Peña Esclusa, described the Maduro regime as a “dictatorship” and an “organized crime group” [[1]].
Avendaño warned that if the international community does not understand the nature of the Maduro regime, the situation in Venezuela will continue to destabilize the region [[1]]. Peña Esclusa expressed his conviction that a rift between the Army and the Government is approaching and called on the international community to recognize González Urrutia as the elected president and pressure the International Criminal Court
What are the key ideological differences between Nicolás Maduro and Javier Milei?
Title: Maduro and Milei Engage in War of Words: A Tale of Two Leaders and Their Ideological Differences
Introduction:
The ongoing saga between Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Argentine President Javier Milei has taken a dramatic turn, with both leaders trading insults and engaging in a war of words. The exchange of statements has highlighted the deep-seated ideological differences between the two leaders and their respective governments. In this article, we will delve into the recent developments and explore the implications of this rhetoric on regional politics.
The Insults:
Maduro, known for his inflammatory rhetoric, launched a scathing attack on Milei, calling him an “idiot” and accusing him of making life and Christmas “miserable” for Argentina [[3]]. Milei, not one to back down, retaliated by labeling Maduro a “criminal” and describing Venezuela as a “human cemetery” [[3]]. The exchange continued, with Maduro accusing Milei of supporting oppression and genocide in Gaza, and Milei denouncing Maduro’s regime as a “dictatorship” [[3]].
Ideological Differences:
The insults and counter-insults are merely a symptom of the deeper ideological divide between the two leaders. Maduro, a self-proclaimed socialist, has long been a vocal critic of the United States and its influence in Latin America. Milei, on the other hand, has been a vocal advocate for free market principles and has criticized Maduro’s regime as a “dictatorship” [[1]].
The ideological differences were further highlighted during Milei’s speech at the Madrid Forum, where he questioned other leaders in the region, including Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, whom he called a “tyrant” for supporting censorship on social networks [[3]].
Regional Implications:
The war of words between Maduro and Milei has significant implications for regional politics. The ongoing crisis in Venezuela has long been a source of concern for neighboring countries, and Milei’s criticism of Maduro’s regime has sparked a heated debate about the role of democracy and human rights in the region.
Furthermore, the exchange has highlighted the growing divide between socialist and liberal governments in Latin America. As the region grapples with issues such as economic instability and democratic backsliding, the ideological differences between leaders like Maduro and Milei are likely to continue to shape regional politics.
Conclusion:
The war of words between Maduro and Milei is a manifestation of the deep-seated ideological differences between the two leaders and their respective governments. As the rhetoric continues to escalate, it remains to be seen how this will impact regional politics and the future of democracy in Latin America. One thing is certain, however: the ongoing saga between Maduro and Milei is a testament to the complexities and nuances of regional politics in the 21st century.
