Overview

• During a visit to Mar del Plata, President Javier Milei campaigned with Diego Santilli as the preferred replacement on La Libertad Avanza’s Buenos Aires list, a change still subject to the electoral court.
• Milei inaugurated a Lamb Weston plant and said the project will generate about 3,000 direct and indirect jobs tied to the facility, its suppliers, transport and the local port.
• Street protests formed around his planned walk in the Güemes area as organized opponents gathered to reject his administration.
• In a public exchange with a resident who shouted insults, Milei replied, “I’m going to bring inflation down a bit more so you can curse a bit more.”
• The Presidency mapped additional stops in Mendoza, Santa Cruz, Corrientes and Chaco, with Río Negro and Neuquén under consideration, while the ATE union urged actions to block a Patagonia visit.
