Government Files Criminal Complaint Over Milei Caravan Attack as Treasury Rolls Debt and Peso Strengthens

The administration pairs a legal response with fiscal tightening to steady markets ahead of the Buenos Aires provincial vote.

Overview

  • Argentina’s Security Ministry lodged a criminal complaint citing intimidation and aggravated assault with alleged organized participation, and the case was assigned to Federal Court No. 2 in Lomas de Zamora under Judge Federico Armella.
  • Presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni said two people were detained over the attack and confirmed the plan to send a Zero Deficit law to Congress to require balanced budgets and penalize officials who breach it.
  • The Treasury reported ARS 7.667 billones placed for a 114.66% rollover, with short‑term Lecap yields reaching 75.7% effective annual, supported by recent reserve‑requirement changes that steered banks into Treasury paper.
  • Following the auction, the official wholesale dollar fell $16.5 to $1,333 for its largest daily drop in two weeks, while parallel rates eased and futures pointed to a contained near‑term path.
  • The campaign pressed on under tighter precautions as Karina Milei and Chamber Speaker Martín Menem were evacuated during a Corrientes event, and records showed the Lomas caravan pickup carries 213 traffic infractions with about ARS 41.1 million in unpaid fines.
