Milei Extends Mendoza Trip With Unscheduled Capital Walk After San Rafael Speech

Local authorities report they were not formally consulted, prompting a major provincial security deployment.

Overview

  • President Javier Milei visits Mendoza on Oct. 9 to address the Almuerzo de las Fuerzas Vivas in San Rafael.
  • Casa Rosada confirmed a late addition: a 6 p.m. walk along Peatonal Sarmiento in Mendoza’s capital with Governor Alfredo Cornejo and Defense Minister Luis Petri.
  • Mendoza city officials say no public-space request was filed for the walk, and Mayor Ulpiano Suárez says he learned of it from the press and will not take part.
  • The province detailed a reinforced plan for the capital route with 100 police along the path, 300 at kilómetro cero, 35 UCAR bike officers, and 30 command units.
  • A multisectoral group called a protest in San Rafael, as Vice Governor Hebe Casado warned of possible disturbances while provincial officials projected a normal day.
