Argentinian president Javier Milei was forced to cut short a campaign rally on Wednesday after protesters threw rocks, bottles and other objects at his motorcade in Buenos Aires province.
The libertarian leader was not injured, his spokesperson confirmed, but the violent scenes in Lomas de Zamora – a traditional stronghold of Argentina’s left-leaning Peronist movement – halted the rally and underscored rising tensions just days before provincial elections on 7 September.
