MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's leftist leader on Friday recommended that Argentines peacefully protest the new government of radical libertarian President Javier Milei, who took office last week promising deep budget cuts in a bid to tame triple-digit inflation.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who has often criticized foreign calls to action against his own government's policies, told a press conference that Argentine citizens should embrace "peaceful civic resistance" and avoid any temptation to oppose Milei's policies with violence.
