Overview

• President Javier Milei was rushed from a pickup truck rally in Lomas de Zamora after protesters hurled rocks, bottles and other objects at his motorcade, according to witnesses and video.
• Presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni said Milei was not injured as security agents shielded him and quickly evacuated the convoy.
• Karina Milei, the president’s sister and chief of staff, was in the vehicle and is central to leaked audio in which former disability agency head Diego Spagnuolo alleges bribery tied to funds for people with disabilities.
• Milei called the accusations lies and vowed legal action against Spagnuolo, while Adorni and Security Minister Patricia Bullrich accused Kirchnerist activists of organizing the attack.
• Scuffles broke out between supporters and opponents, with at least one Milei supporter treated for rib injuries, as tensions rose ahead of the Sept. 7 Buenos Aires Province vote and the Oct. 26 midterms.
