Overview
- The president’s local agenda features the San Rafael business lunch with Governor Alfredo Cornejo, followed by a brief walk on Mendoza City’s Peatonal Sarmiento alongside campaign leaders including Luis Petri and Karina Milei.
- Provincial authorities mounted extensive security, with reports of more than 200 officers at the San Rafael venue and roughly 450 personnel for the capital walk, including 100 on the route, 300 in the main ring and 35 bicycle units.
- After canceling a Santa Cruz leg, the tour adds a Friday stop in San Isidro with Buenos Aires candidates Diego Santilli and Karen Reichardt and weekend events in Chaco and Corrientes.
- The campaign adjusted plans after José Luis Espert resigned amid allegations linking him to businessman Fred Machado, intensifying disputes over the Buenos Aires candidate order.
- The provincial push comes ahead of next week’s Washington visit, where Milei is slated to meet President Donald Trump at the White House.
