Argentine President Javier Milei was attacked with stones, plants, and bottles by protesters on August 27, 2025, while campaigning in Lomas de Zamora near Buenos Aires. The protesters were demonstrating against a corruption scandal involving Milei's sister, Karina Milei, who is the Secretary General of the Presidency and a presidential secretary. The incident occurred as Milei was greeting supporters from the back of a pickup truck. His motorcade was forced to leave the scene quickly, and no injuries were reported to the president, though a female supporter suffered rib injuries and was taken away by ambulance. Scuffles broke out between supporters and opponents of Milei following the attack. The protest followed leaked audio recordings from the former head of the public disability agency, Diego Spagnuolo, who accused Karina Milei of embezzling funds meant for people with disabilities. President Milei denied the allegations, calling them lies. The attack happened amid Milei's campaign for the October mid-term elections. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 03:12 IST; source: link)
