Overview

• In Comodoro Rivadavia, Victoria Villarruel described the national scene as “difícil y bastante confuso” and pledged to fulfill her responsibilities with prudence.
• She rejected the notion of a “decorative” vice presidency, saying presiding over the Senate and touring provinces are part of her constitutional duties.
• Villarruel said her relationship with Javier and Karina Milei is strictly institutional and limited to the scope of her office.
• In Río Mayo, she joined Governor Ignacio “Nacho” Torres for the town’s 90th anniversary and referred to herself as “chubutense por adopción.”
• Torres ruled out allying with La Libertad Avanza for the October elections and relaunched the Despierta Chubut label to compete independently, as a developing ANDIS allegation disclosed by former chief Diego Spagnuolo unsettles the government.
