Argentina’s President Javier Milei, amid his electoral campaign, traveled to Santa Fe on Saturday, where he was forced to cancel several public events due to a strong popular protest, similar to what happened in Ushuaia the previous Monday.

Milei had planned to take a walk along San Martín pedestrian street in the city center, accompanied by his libertarian candidate Agustín Pellegrini, under a strict security operation. However, he was met by hundreds of protesters who expressed their rejection, leading to police repression and the subsequent cancellation of the event.

With the agenda in Santa Fe suspended, Milei advanced his departure to Paraná, the capital of Entre Ríos, where he was welcomed at the Howard Johnson Mayorazgo Hotel by Governor Frigerio, a key ally in his campaign.

This visit takes place amid growing tensions within the government, particularly over the scandal involving José Luis Espert, his main candidate on the Buenos Aires list. Espert is at the center of the controversy due to his connection with businessman Alfredo “Fred” Machado, who is currently detained on charges related to drug trafficking and awaiting extradition to the United States.

The text reads: One would wish this were a joke, but unfortunately, it’s the unjust Argentina we live in.

The same Court that ruled to ban Cristina Fernandez from running in these elections in 70 days has spent 3 years and 4 months dragging its feet on the extradition to the United States of drug trafficker “Fred Machado,” financier of Jose Luis Espert.

They’ve never cared about justice. We’ve said it a thousand times. They play politics, and the worst kind. They don’t care about condemning an innocent person or covering up drug traffickers or war criminals as long as they fund their friends.

Lorenzetti, Rosatti, and Rozenkrantz… 3 years and 4 months turning a blind eye while a drug trafficker is living in his house in a private neighborhood in Río Negro. Then we wonder why organized crime is so rampant in our country.
