Overview

  • The president led a La Libertad Avanza rally in Junín to present candidates and pressed supporters to turn out for the Sept. 7 provincial and Oct. 26 national elections.
  • He claimed Buenos Aires will use a traditional ballot that "permits fraud" and contrasted it with the single-ballot system planned for the national vote.
  • Local outlet Democracia reported at least three LLA militants were hospitalized after clashes near the Teatro San Carlos, with footage of the beatings circulating on social media.
  • From the stage, Milei denounced "hordas kirchneristas" and declared "kirchnerismo nunca más," while Karina Milei expressed solidarity with the wounded.
  • Milei’s audiovisual director Santiago Oría shared a video of the president embracing an injured supporter, and the rally unfolded as the ANDIS audio scandal lingered in the background without mention in Milei’s speech.
