“In the diplomatic world there are several stages, but here it is the president of a country who doesn’t like what the president of another country says. But there are things that go beyond that. Relations between countries are very long-term, much higher than what the presidents of each country can have.”, he indicated.

Mondino highlighted that, “Regardless of whether the president doesn’t like what others think about the data, it’s not an issue that will affect long-term relations”.

The president of Argentina, Javier Mileicalled “terrorist killer” to his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Pedroit’s from “ignorant“to the Mexican, Andrés Manuel López Obradorin an interview with the American channel CNN en Español, which will be broadcast on Sunday, but of which a preview was broadcast this Wednesday.

Colombia demanded an apology from the president, something that the chancellor questioned, requesting: “Let’s leave this aside because it is not a problem that should increase in any way.”.

“The Colombian people and the Argentine people worked together; We have a lot of trade between the two countries,” he recalled.

Mondino stated that this is not “a matter of the State, but of the people“, since, he stated, “Twitter accounts (today X) are personal”.

“We have to reduce the decibels of this because it doesn’t lead to anything.” he added.

CNN published on its website a preview of the interview with Milei, where it assured that the libertarian leader, who took over the Argentine government on December 10, said about Petro that “You can’t expect much from someone who was a terrorist killer”.
