Overview

  • The president, his sister Karina Milei and La Libertad Avanza candidates were rushed from the area near Plaza Grigera after projectiles struck close to their vehicle.
  • Deputy José Luis Espert was extracted on a motorcycle as security halted the event and cleared the route.
  • Police reported two detentions at the scene, with no immediate confirmation of the individuals’ roles in the attack.
  • Presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni and Security Minister Patricia Bullrich condemned the aggression and attributed it to kirchnerist groups as opposition demonstrators displayed anti-Milei signs.
  • The confrontation occurred less than two weeks before the Sept. 7 provincial elections following leaked audios by ex-ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo that intensified scrutiny of Karina Milei.
