Overview

  • Supporters of La Libertad Avanza and kirchnerist militants traded shoves and punches near the Teatro San Carlos ahead of the rally.
  • Organizer Sebastián Pareja reported multiple injuries with at least one person in serious condition, and the local paper Democracia said three were hospitalized.
  • Opening his speech, Javier Milei condemned the violence, accused “hordas” or “patotas kirchneristas,” and declared “Kirchnerismo nunca más.”
  • Videos posted by Sebastián Pareja and presidential filmmaker Santiago Oría showed the scuffles and captured Milei hugging a supporter who had been beaten.
  • Milei’s remark, “Están molestos porque les estamos afanando los choreos,” spread rapidly online and drew criticism as probes tied to the ANDIS audio case continue to roil politics.
