King Felipe traveled to Argentina roughly a week ago to attend inauguration ceremonies for the country’s new president, Javier Milei, who’s rise to power has stunned observers.
Milei is an eccentric populist who has promised deep spending cuts and reforms to tackle inflation and make the country more competitive. He has acknowledged a painful transition.
Present at the ceremonies were several world leaders, including the heads of Chile, Ukraine and Hungary.
For decades, a senior member of the Royal Family has attended inauguration ceremonies at former Spanish colonies.
