Milei Claims Political Enemies Want Him Dead Before Key Vote
President Milei alleges opposition forces are undermining his economic reforms through violence and corruption scandals, highlighting escalating political tensions before a crucial election.
- Argentine President Javier Milei and his sister are scheduled to participate in La Libertad Avanza’s last electoral gathering in Moreno, located within Buenos Aires Province, ahead of the provincial vote on September 7.
- The event follows recent violence, including rock-throwers forcing an August 28 evacuation in Lomas de Zamora, amid heightened security alerts citing flooded roads and no secure perimeter.
- Milei accuses Kirchnerist opponents of plans to destroy his economic reforms in Congress, incite violent protests, and even attempt to kill him, describing them as 'psychopaths' employing an all-or-nothing strategy.
- His major reforms have slashed government expenditure by nearly one-third of GDP within half a year, transforming a budget deficit into a surplus and bringing monthly inflation down from 25 percent to 1.5 percent by May 2025.
- These events and Milei's security warnings underscore tensions ahead of the vote, which could cement his shock-therapy agenda or cause political instability impacting Argentina's economy.
