Alberto Fernandez: Argentine president apologises for Brazil comments
Argentina's president has apologised for saying that Brazilians were "from the jungle" in remarks about his country's European heritage. "The Mexicans came from the Indians, the Brazilians came from the jungle, but we Argentines came from the ships and they were ships that came from Europe," Alberto Fernandez said. The statement - a quote from a song - caused a storm on social media. Mr Fernandez later said his country's diversity was a source of pride. He made the controversial remarks as he and visiting Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez met business leaders in Buenos Aires.
