西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯周三以一种讽刺的方式欢迎阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱抵达马德里，自豪地接受了米莱常用来侮辱政敌的“左派”标签。
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez gave Argentine President Javier Milei an ironic welcome to Madrid on Wednesday, proudly embracing the term "leftie" that Milei frequently uses to insult his political opponents.
桑切斯社会党马德里总部外悬挂的一幅巨大横幅上写着：“你好，米莱。左派欢迎你来到西班牙，欧洲增长最快的国家。”
"Hello, Milei. The lefties welcome you to Spain, the fastest-growing country in Europe," read a large banner displayed outside the headquarters of Sanchez's Socialist Party in Madrid.
桑切斯还在美国社交媒体平台X上发布了一段视频，回应米莱反复使用西班牙语“zurdo”（即“左派”）作为贬义词。他补充道：“有人以为叫我们左派就是在侮辱我们。”
Sanchez also posted a video on US social media platform X responding to Milei's repeated use of the Spanish word "zurdo," or "leftie," as a derogatory term. "There are those who think they insult us by calling us lefties," he added.
桑切斯表示，如果提高养老金、每年上调最低工资、让父母有更多时间陪伴孩子、捍卫堕胎权和反对战争会让人成为左派，他为此感到自豪。“所以是的，我是左派，并且为此感到自豪，”他总结道。
Sanchez added that if raising pensions, increasing the minimum wage yearly, giving parents more time with their children, defending abortion rights and opposing war made someone a leftie, he was proud to be one. "So yes, I'm a leftie, and proud of it," he concluded.
米莱此次访问正值他与桑切斯长期紧张关系持续之际，阿根廷总统在多次访西期间曾多次批评桑切斯。
Milei's visit comes amid longstanding tensions with Sanchez, whom the Argentine president has repeatedly criticized during trips to Spain.
自2023年12月就职以来，米莱已多次访问西班牙，却从未与桑切斯举行过正式会晤，这种不同寻常的模式加剧了两国政府间的外交摩擦。
Since taking office in December 2023, Milei has made several visits to Spain without holding official meetings with Sanchez, an unusual pattern that has contributed to diplomatic friction between the two governments.
这是米莱就任总统以来的第七次访西，正值西班牙11月29日大选前夕。
The latest trip, his seventh to Spain since becoming president, comes ahead of the country's Nov. 29 general election.
阿根廷政府将此行描述为竞选活动的一部分，米莱旨在支持西班牙的右翼政党。
The Argentine government has described the visit as part of the election campaign, with Milei seeking to support Spain's right-wing political parties.
不过，米莱预计不会会见正在西班牙其他地区竞选的极右翼“呼声”党领袖圣地亚哥·阿巴斯卡尔。相反，他计划会见“呼声”党秘书长以及该党关联的“异见”基金会主任。
However, Milei is not expected to meet far-right Vox leader Santiago Abascal, who is campaigning elsewhere in Spain. Instead, he is scheduled to meet the Vox secretary-general and the director of the party-linked Disenso Foundation.
他周三称马德里大区主席、属于人民党的伊莎贝尔·迪亚斯·阿尤索为“朋友”，但与她可能的会晤尚未得到确认。
A possible meeting with Madrid regional President Isabel Diaz Ayuso of the Popular Party, who he called a "friend" on Wednesday, has yet to be confirmed.
访问期间，米莱伊还再次批评桑切斯，周三在马德里的一个商业论坛上称这位西班牙首相为“不可登台的独裁者”。
During the visit, Milei also renewed his criticism of Sanchez, calling the Spanish premier an "unpresentable dictator" during a business forum in Madrid on Wednesday.
他补充道：“当我来到西班牙时，我不会去见像佩德罗·桑切斯这样的罪犯和小偷，因为我不愿意不得不把口袋缝死以防被偷。”
“When I come to Spain, I'm not going to meet a criminal and a thief like Pedro Sanchez, because I'm not willing to have to sew my pockets shut to avoid being robbed," he added.
在活动前对记者讲话时，米莱伊还将批评者斥为“愚蠢、无能、使人贫穷的左派分子。”
Speaking to reporters before the event, Milei also dismissed his critics as "stupid, incompetent, impoverishing lefties."
