Overview

  • Regional governors in provinces including Río Negro, Neuquén, Santa Cruz, Misiones and Salta declined to ally with La Libertad Avanza and instead revalidated their own territorial electoral slates.
  • Buenos Aires City parties have formally registered six competing coalitions—Alianza LLA-PRO, Fuerza Patria, Hagamos Futuro, Ciudadanos Unidos, Potencia CABA and the Frente de Izquierda—for the October 26 legislative elections.
  • Efforts by La Libertad Avanza to forge a unified opposition front in Córdoba collapsed amid infighting in the UCR and PRO, prompting deputy Natalia de la Sota to launch the Defendamos Córdoba ticket.
  • Tonight at 9 pm, President Milei will use a national broadcast from the Casa Rosada to justify a dozen congressional vetoes as part of his strict “déficit cero” fiscal agenda.
  • In her first public interview since leaving office, Diana Mondino accused Milei of either corruption or incompetence over the controversial $Libra cryptocurrency launch.
