Overview

  • During a campaign drive through central Lomas de Zamora, stones struck the caravan as it approached Plaza Grigera and the rally was halted.
  • Security evacuated President Javier Milei and Karina Milei, and José Luis Espert departed on a motorcycle.
  • The government blamed kirchnerismo for the aggression, and police reported two detentions with identities and responsibility still unverified.
  • Reports on injuries diverged, with Espert saying a presidential photographer was hit by a stone and the spokesperson asserting there were none.
  • The clash came days before the 7 September Buenos Aires provincial vote, shortly after Milei publicly denied the ANDIS audio allegations and vowed legal action.
