Argentina's President Milei Attacked by Protesters in Buenos Aires Campaign

News summary

Argentina's libertarian President Javier Milei faced violent protests during a campaign event near Buenos Aires province, where demonstrators threw rocks, bottles, and other objects at his motorcade, forcing the event to be cut short. Milei, who was unharmed, was accompanied by his sister Karina Milei, who is also embroiled in a corruption scandal involving alleged embezzlement of funds from a public disability agency, further fueling public outrage. The incident occurred in Lomas de Zamora, a traditional Peronist stronghold, as Milei's Liberty Advances party seeks to consolidate power ahead of significant provincial and national elections. Despite his efforts to reduce inflation and fiscal deficits, Milei's austerity measures and the corruption allegations have sparked widespread dissatisfaction and political tension. The protests and political unrest highlight the challenges Milei faces in maintaining public support amid accusations of corruption and opposition attempts to reverse his fiscal policies. These developments pose a critical test for Milei's political future and economic agenda as Argentina approaches pivotal midterm elections.
