Protests Cut Short Milei’s Ushuaia Campaign Stop

A strong protest turnout under a heavy security cordon forced a brief street appearance.

Overview

  • Javier Milei’s planned walk through Ushuaia was curtailed after demonstrators blocked part of the route, prompting a tight security response.
  • Milei delivered a short address through a megaphone alongside local La Libertad Avanza candidates Agustín Coto and Miguel Rodríguez.
  • Minor scuffles broke out between libertarian supporters and peronist groups, including an incident in which a purple cap was taken from a Milei backer.
  • Before the street disruption, the Presidency reported visits to two Newsan plants with Karina Milei and a meeting with National Parks officials Sergio Álvarez and Marcelo Almirón.
  • City streets featured posters and graffiti rejecting the visit, with messages defending local industry and references to unproven kickback allegations involving Karina Milei and the disability agency ANDIS.
