Overview
- The national government released identikits of three alleged aggressors — Diego Martín Paz, Thiago Román Florentín and José Marcelino Dabrowsky — after stones struck the presidential pickup during a campaign caravan in Lomas de Zamora.
- Initial police claims of multiple arrests gave way to confirmation that only Florentín, 22, is detained for throwing blunt objects, while Paz publicly denied involvement and cited security video and a parking ticket as proof.
- Buenos Aires Province security chief Javier Alonso said Casa Militar led an inadequate protection plan, called the exposure of the President “a locura,” and added provincial officers after receiving late notice of the operation.
- Security Minister Patricia Bullrich accused kirchnerismo of organizing the aggression, and Lomas de Zamora mayor Federico Otermín rejected responsibility and criticized the decision to stage the caravan in the city center.
- President Javier Milei told his cabinet he was “casi exultante” and urged a harder campaign, later framing the violence as part of defamatory operations linked to the ANDIS audio case, while separate reporting highlighted hundreds of unpaid fines tied to the pickup used.
