Overview

• At Club Villa Ángela in Moreno, the president led La Libertad Avanza’s closing event before Sunday’s provincial vote under an expanded federal security deployment.
• Scuffles outside included stone and bottle throwing, at least one detention and the beating of América TV reporter Christian Mercatante, while the presidential entourage entered and exited without incident.
• Governor Axel Kicillof urged residents to stay away and said he would hold Javier Milei responsible for any violence after provincial security chief Javier Alonso warned the venue lacked basic safety and evacuation conditions.
• In an interview released hours earlier, Milei said the opposition could try to kill him, and during his speech he defended his sister Karina and described the race as a “technical tie.”
• The event unfolded as the Andis corruption inquiry proceeds following Aug. 29 searches at Andis and Suizo Argentina and a judge’s order halting further dissemination of leaked audios, with fact-checkers debunking viral posts that misrepresented a Casa Rosada protest.
