Overview

• A Bank of America accounting record shows a US$200,000 transfer tied to José Luis Espert and linked to businessman Federico “Fred” Machado, prompting doubts over his explanations.
• The lower house scheduled a special session for Wednesday to remove Espert from the Budget and Finance Committee, with opposition blocs weighing additional disciplinary steps.
• After a meeting in Olivos, President Javier Milei reaffirmed support for Espert, deepening rifts with PRO leaders who consider his account insufficient and resist sharing campaign events.
• The government is recalibrating its electoral strategy and messaging, keeping Monday’s Movistar Arena event on the calendar and reshuffling travel to accommodate the October 8 congressional session.
• Milei suspended a campaign walk in Santa Fe following clashes between opponents and libertarian activists, with officials reporting at least three detentions, as Governor Axel Kicillof amplifies criticism and presses a US$12 billion claim before the Supreme Court.
