The electoral campaign towards the legislative elections added tension with the stones, the eggs, vegetables and other things that manifesto threw Javier Milei during a tour in the province of Buenos Aires. The previous climate was not the best, marked by the complaints of corruption against the ultra government, and finished complicating Wednesday with the aggression to the president and his subsequent emergency evacuation. To these events, new incidents in the province of Corrientes were added this Thursday, while performing campaign activities, the president’s sister, Karina Milei. The executive held Kirchnerism responsible without giving more data.
Milei himself insisted on blaming the main opposition force, which his candidates will face in the provincial elections of Buenos Aires on Sunday, September 7. Shortly after the aggression in Buenos Aires, he pointed out in his social networks that “the Kukas (derogatory allusion to the Kirchnerists) throw stones lacking ideas, resorted again to violence.” This Thursday, the President deepened his onslaught against Kirchnerism, in an explicit campaign speech.
In a lunch organized by the Inter -American Council of Commerce and Production, Milei said that “a violent grupejo broke out of force and began to throw stones.” He framed it in “a context of crude defamatory operations” (for the complaints of corruption against them) that seek to “stop the process of change that the country is going through.” The president said that “on September 7, Buenos Aires will end the regime of lies, violence, corruption and extortion of Kirchnerism. It is now more than ever we have to say: Kirchnerism never again.”
The stones against Milei took place in the town of Lomas de Zamora, on the outskirts of the city of Buenos, during the afternoon of Wednesday. Together with his sister, the General Secretary of the Presidency, and the candidate who heads the official list, José Luis Espert, Milei made a tour aboard a bare truck. The procession crossed with protesters from different autoconvocated sectors to repudiate the presence of the president. A group began to insult Milei and his sister and throw things. Without being registered injured in the official delegation, the security personnel suspended the tour and evacuated the president.
The Executive filed a criminal complaint to investigate the crime of attack on authority. “Two people were arrested and are already available to justice,” said the spokesman of the Casa Rosada, Manuel Adorni. Hours later it was confirmed that one of those arrested was released: he had not thrown objects against the president, but had put himself in front of the truck that transported him.
While the Ministry of National Security blamed Kirchnerism for the aggression, the Buenos Aires governorate, headed by Peronist Axel Kicillof, questioned the performance of presidential custody, in charge of the Military House. “They exposed the president to a delicate situation (…) they did not take care of him. When one goes to the territory, he knows that there are social climates,” said provincial security minister Javier Alonso, to Urban Play radio.
The minister repudiated the aggressions, but also alerted about the incitement of violence by leaders of the ruling party. Alonso said that “there were some provocations of the candidate Espert, who approached the place of protesters making gestures and insults.” Videos disseminated on social networks also showed President Milei responding with insults to the shouts of protesters.
Critics of the government have intensified in recent days by a corruption scandal. In a series of filtered audios, the displaced national director of Disability Diego Spagnuolo denounced a network of bribes around the state purchase of medicines: he said that Karina Milei integrates it and that the president knew about the issue and did nothing. According to the government, “everything is a lie” and, also, an operation of Kirchnerism in the prelude to the elections. Many of the people who demonstrated against Milei in Lomas de Zamora did so with slogans of rejection of corruption in attention to disability, a sensitive area and especially adjusted by the ultra government.
This Thursday there was a similar incident in the province of Corrientes, where next Sunday will be voted to choose governor. So far, more than 900 kilometers from the city of Buenos Aires, Karina Milei and the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, had traveled to support the candidate of Libertad Avanza (LLA), Lisandro Almirón. They had started a walk through the center of the Correntina capital, but they had to interrupt it shortly after starting, when bumps, pushing and struggles were produced between followers of Lla and opposition protesters. Karina Milei and Menem were evacuated in a black van, heading to the airport. According to the local press, three people were arrested.
They had to leave a balance of at least three detainees, according to the local press.
