Overview
- President Javier Milei, in a Monday interview with Spain’s El Debate, restated his personal rejection of euthanasia and abortion.
- He said life is a gift and that he would not step into private choices, adding he would try to dissuade someone but would respect a decision that harms no one else.
- He reaffirmed that he believes life begins at conception and called abortion murder, and Clarín reports his government has cut program funding under the 2020 abortion law after an earlier repeal push failed.
- The questions came after Spain authorized the euthanasia of 25-year-old Noelia Castillo Ramos, whose father opposed the procedure with support from the group Abogados Cristianos, and the European Court of Human Rights declined to halt it.
- Coverage notes renewed public debate on end-of-life rights across the region, with Mexican street interviews showing a split between personal autonomy and religious objections.
