Miley described Sanchez’s wife, Begonia Gomez, as “corrupt” during a rally in Madrid organized by the far-right Vox party and attended by many of its international allies.

Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albarez said he expected an apology from Miley.

Other ministers also condemned Miley’s speech, which described socialism as “damned and cancerous”. Sanchez leads the Spanish Socialist Party.

“With his behavior, Miley took the relationship between Spain and Argentina to the most dangerous situation in modern history,” Albares said in a video statement.

Miley’s visit broke diplomatic protocol, as he refused to meet Spain’s King Felipe and Sánchez, preferring to promote his book alongside Vox leader Santiago Abascal at the party’s rally.
