Protest Halts Milei’s Santa Fe Event as He Courts Allies and Defends Espert

Street clashes in Santa Fe highlight a campaign reset focused on coalition support with FX containment.

Overview

  • A planned walk in Santa Fe was canceled after confrontations with protesters, and police later reported five detentions as some outlets cited at least three.
  • Milei was moved to a hotel in the city and then traveled to Paraná, where he met Governor Rogelio Frigerio and later addressed supporters on the costanera.
  • The President met Mauricio Macri in Olivos for the second time in five days and both signaled post‑election cooperation to pursue structural reforms in Congress.
  • Casa Rosada’s campaign team tightened messaging after a formal complaint by Juan Grabois alleged José Luis Espert received US$200,000 from businessman Fred Machado; Milei reaffirmed his backing and Espert said he will not withdraw.
  • To steady the peso, the Economy Ministry sold dollars, including a reported US$200 million operation on Friday and nearly US$2 billion over the week, as bonds rose and risk spread eased.
