Overview

• Presidency and Mendoza authorities confirmed that Milei will speak at the San Rafael business luncheon and then lead a late‑added walk through downtown Mendoza with Governor Alfredo Cornejo, Defense Minister and candidate Luis Petri, and Karina Milei.
• Officials set a large security deployment for the capital walk, including 100 police along the route and 300 at the Kilómetro Cero perimeter, as groups in San Rafael and the city called protests and provincial leaders said they aim to keep order.
• Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof intensified his attacks on Milei’s economic plan, citing rising household debt and an irregularity rate of about 5.6% among bank‑indebted families, asserting more than 200,000 jobs have been lost, and urging a vote for Fuerza Patria on Oct. 26.
• Governors in the Provincias Unidas bloc convene their third summit today in Jujuy to consolidate a centrist space opposed to both right and left populism and signal that deeper dialogue with the Casa Rosada will wait until after the elections.
• The national government restored the Interior Ministry to rebuild ties as Minister Lisandro Catalán courts governors, while La Libertad Avanza’s campaign faces low‑profile candidates and territorial frictions that have forced some event cancellations, prompting Milei to intensify his personal tour; Salta’s Gustavo Sáenz spotlighted unmet public‑works commitments with a symbolic protest outside the Casa Rosada.
