J. Milei also, without directly naming him, called Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes “bald trash.”
J. Milei “insulted two branches of government, the Brazilian people, and Brazilian democracy,” a Brazilian diplomatic source told AFP.
The Argentine president attended the event with F. Bolsonaro and, in his speech, warned of the alleged “Lula risk” facing the country, urging Brazil to free itself from “dependence on the left.”

Meanwhile, J. Milei stated that A. de Moraes did not allow him to visit his “wrongfully imprisoned friend” Jair Bolsonaro – F. Bolsonaro’s father and former president (2019–2022), who was convicted of planning a coup in 2022.
A. de Moraes, who oversaw J. Bolsonaro’s trial, had previously rejected J. Milei’s request to visit the former president, who is currently under house arrest in Brazil.
Brazil’s ambassador Julio Bitelli is expected to return home between Sunday and Monday, a diplomatic source said.
