Overview
- During his Fuerzas Vivas speech on municipal autonomy, Mayor Omar Félix briefly held up three fingers at an event attended by President Javier Milei and Karina Milei.
- Some attendees read the gesture as a nod to the alleged “3%” in Diego Spagnuolo’s audios, though Félix made no such reference in his remarks.
- Félix’s team said the gesture was purely explanatory, citing the National Constitution, Provincial Constitution and the newly approved ordinance as the plan’s guiding principles.
- Governor Alfredo Cornejo downplayed the autonomy debate as insubstantial and urged focus on economic issues, prompting Félix to answer him in a post-event press conference.
- San Rafael’s council approved the autonomy ordinance on September 24, and Félix outlined a 150-day implementation timeline; separately, Emir Félix criticized Milei’s engagement with business leaders at the event.
