Overview

• After addressing a business luncheon in San Rafael, President Javier Milei moved to Mendoza’s center and spoke from a vehicle with a megaphone, urging backers not to give up ahead of the October 26 legislative vote.
• A planned walk along Peatonal Sarmiento was cut short as crowding and face‑offs between supporters and detractors prompted security to shift him back to a vehicle for a brief address.
• Local outlets reported roughly 2,000–3,000 people in the area as police, Casa Militar, Gendarmería and provincial forces deployed cordons and barriers to contain counter‑protesters.
• Earlier in the day, a large banner reading “Milei huevonazo” appeared at the Nudo Vial and was later removed, with reports attributing the message to the activist collective La Neurona Rebelde.
• From a health policy event in Ensenada, Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof condemned Milei’s program as dismantling the state and vowed the province would act as a shield against national cuts.
