Milei Leads Brief Córdoba Caravan, Presses for Votes Ahead of Oct. 26 Elections

He aims to boost La Libertad Avanza’s leverage in Congress with a Rosario finale before Sunday’s vote.

Overview

  • The president rode through central Córdoba in a short motorcade, urging supporters to back his candidates to “change Congress” ahead of the legislative elections.
  • Karina Milei accompanied him alongside congressional hopeful Gonzalo Roca, with local LLA leader Gabriel Bornoroni organizing the event.
  • Authorities mounted a heavy security operation with federal agents, gendarmerie units and roughly 300 local police, and Córdoba police estimated attendance at about 3,000.
  • Reports diverged on disturbances: Clarín cited protests and three detentions, while other outlets described no significant incidents as demonstrators were kept behind barriers.
  • Milei reiterated campaign claims on inflation, protests and crime, plans a final caravan in Rosario on Thursday, and the country votes Sunday to renew half the Chamber of Deputies and one-third of the Senate; he kept his 55th birthday private.
