Overview

• Security removed President Javier Milei unharmed after stones, bottles and other objects struck his campaign caravan in the Buenos Aires suburb of Lomas de Zamora.
• At least one supporter was injured and two people were detained following confrontations between protesters and Milei backers, according to officials and on-scene reporting.
• Milei blamed a “small violent group,” linked the incident to what he called smear campaigns over corruption claims, and said he will take former ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo to court.
• The attack unfolded as prosecutors examine leaked recordings alleging kickbacks tied to the disability agency ANDIS and naming Karina Milei, which the government rejects.
• Further scuffles were reported at a Corrientes event featuring Karina Milei, and the tensions come ahead of the Sept. 7 provincial vote and Oct. 26 midterms, with local reports noting market jitters and sliding approval.
