### Argentine President Milei to Visit Mexico, But Neither AMLO Nor Sheinbaum Will Receive Him
The President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, announced on August 13, 2024, that despite the scheduled visit of his Argentine counterpart, Javier Gerardo Milei, he would not meet with him due to differing viewpoints and ideologies. Milei, who has been the President of Argentina since December 10, 2023, is set to visit Mexico on August 24, 2024, to attend the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), confirmed by José Eduardo Verástegui Córdoba, a Mexican producer, actor, and former singer.
Milei’s press team revealed that he plans to deliver a compelling message about the essential need to continue fighting for freedom in Latin America and around the world. “His message is intended to deeply resonate with leaders and citizens seeking a future based on strong principles of freedom,” the statement added.
López Obrador stated during his morning press conference that Mexico is a country that upholds freedoms and allows visits from any leader, opposition figure, or right-wing representative from around the world. “This is a free country. There is no censorship or persecution, and there are full liberties,” he reiterated. However, when asked by a reporter if he would meet with Milei, the Mexican President replied, “No, because I don’t agree with his way of thinking and being.”
Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the virtual President-elect of Mexico, also addressed the matter during a press conference at her transition house on the same day. She confirmed that Milei is free to enter Mexican territory but did not clarify whether she planned to meet with him. “He is coming to an event of an international organization of people who belong to conservative blocs in their countries. He is not coming for an official visit,” Sheinbaum explained.
