Argentinian President Javier Milei attended the CPAC Brasil 2024 event in the beach resort of Balneario Camboriu, Brazil. He was greeted by former President Jair Bolsonaro amid tensions between Milei and Brazil's current leader, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Milei, who arrived on Saturday, has criticized Lula as 'corrupt' and a 'communist', and the two have not yet met face-to-face. CPAC Brasil aims to bolster support for Bolsonaro's party in this year's municipal elections and strengthen his influence for the 2026 presidential race.

The event, which featured Milei and former Chilean presidential candidate Jose Antonio Kast, also rallied right-wing leaders and promoted values such as pro-life family standards and anti-abortion stances, amidst pro-gun and anti-drug rhetoric.
