Emmanuelle Macron spoke with Mileí by telephone.
The president of France, Emmanuel Macrontoday congratulated the elected Argentine president, Javier Mileyfor his victory in the second round, but urged him to attend “the importance of global challenges”.

According to the Elysee Palace, Macron had a telephone conversation with Milei in which he highlighted “the friendship, based on shared values, that unites the French and Argentine peoples.”

But he also insisted on “importance given to global challenges, the protection of biodiversity and the energy transition, essential today for sustainable economic development”added the French Presidency.

At least part of Macron’s concept seems to refer to Milei’s position on climate change, which in some interviews he denied and in others he accepted.

“I do not deny climate change. What I am saying is that there is a temperature cycle in the history of the Earth, a cyclical behavior, and this is the fifth point of the cycle. The difference with the previous four is that before the human being was not there and now the human being is there. Therefore, all those policies that blame humans for climate change are false and the only thing they seek is to raise funds to finance lazy socialists who write second-rate papers.”he said in one of the televised debates.

Also yesterday, in his greeting for the victory, the United States ambassador in Buenos Aires, Marc Stanley, urged him to work on the issue.

Stanley spoke of the “shared priorities” that benefit both countries “including the protection of human rights and democracy, the fight against climate change, improving the investment climate and investing in the middle class”.
