Milei Relaunches Province-Focused Push in Ushuaia Ahead of October Legislative Vote
The visit follows a U.S. Treasury negotiation that briefly calmed market pressure.
Overview
- The president kicked off an intensified final-stage campaign in Tierra del Fuego with a downtown walk and event in Ushuaia.
- He is set to appear alongside La Libertad Avanza candidates Agustín Coto for the Senate and Miguel Rodríguez for the Chamber of Deputies.
- The tour targets opposition-held districts, with Tierra del Fuego facing 8.3% unemployment in Ushuaia–Río Grande versus 7.6% nationally, according to INDEC.
- Milei announced the stop on X and plans frequent trips across roughly 10 to 13 provinces in the weeks leading up to the late-October elections.
- Aides frame the push as an effort to regain momentum after recent provincial setbacks, with Congress seats in the district—three senators and two deputies—at stake.
