Milei Reboots Campaign With Ushuaia Visit as U.S. Financing Talks Fuel Political Clash

The push seeks to regain momentum before the Oct. 26 vote, with officials defending talks for up to US$20 billion in U.S. support against escalating opposition attacks.

Overview

  • The president confirmed a Monday stop in Ushuaia to back La Libertad Avanza candidates Agustín Coto for Senate and Miguel Rodríguez for the Chamber of Deputies, with a street walk scheduled for 18:00.
  • Campaign planners report a national tour covering roughly 10 to 13 provinces, with a first week that includes Friday events in Santa Fe and Entre Ríos and a Saturday swing in Buenos Aires province.
  • Reports list Corrientes, Santa Fe, Mendoza, Entre Ríos and Río Negro on the tentative itinerary, along with targeted appearances in key Buenos Aires coastal cities such as Mar del Plata.
  • The U.S. Treasury’s negotiation of a package of up to US$20 billion and public backing from President Donald Trump have intensified domestic debate, as the Casa Rosada decries a “systematic attack” and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner criticizes new indebtedness.
  • Fiscal concerns are mounting after a brief cut of export duties on grains reduced near‑term revenue, with officials preparing further agency cuts as analysts estimate the policy cost at over US$1 billion.
