Argentina’s Milei rushed from campaign event as protesters throw rocks at car
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -Argentine President Javier Milei was rushed out of a public event by his security team in Buenos Aires province on Wednesday after protesters threw rocks and other objects at his car, according to Reuters witnesses.
The president was standing in the back of a moving pickup truck with security team members and his sister Karina Milei, who is also his chief of staff, while campaigning for upcoming local and midterm elections.
Some people in the crowd began throwing things, with at least one rock hitting the hood of the truck. Other items were seen being thrown over the president’s head.
The pickup truck sped away from the crowd, which was yelling anti-government chants like "Get out, Milei." People within the crowd were also fighting each other.
Milei’s spokesperson Manuel Adorni said on X that members of the opposition "attacked" the president’s caravan and that there were no injuries.
Milei’s caravan was moving through streets of Lomas de Zamora, a district in Buenos Aires province, which is traditionally a stronghold of the Peronist opposition movement.
