MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Brazilian government summoned Ambassador to Argentina Julio Bitelli to look at the future of their bilateral relations amid tensions between Argentine President Javier Milei and his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the Nacion newspaper reported, citing sources in the Brazilian Foreign Ministry.
The move was not linked to the authorities' desire to express their disagreement or lodge a protest with Argentina, the newspaper wrote. On the contrary, the idea was to "to look for spaces in which we can work, in which the conflict between Lula and Milei is not an obstacle," the newspaper quoted sources in Brasilia as saying.

President Mauricio Macri announced economic relief for poor and working-class Argentines that include an increased minimum wage, reduced payroll taxes, a bonus for informal workers and a freeze in gasoline prices. The conservative leader said Wednesday he's acting in recognition of the anger Argentines expressed in Sunday's primary election, when Macri trailed his populist rival by 15 percentage points. - Sputnik International, 1920, 15.07.2024
