Argentine President Javier Milei was moved to safety after protesters threw rocks and bottles at his convoy while campaigning for mid-term elections.<\/p>\n

Milei was standing in the back of a vehicle moving along the streets of Lomas de Zamora in Buenos Aires, when at least one rock hit the bonnet. <\/p>\n

Other items were seen being thrown over Milei\u2019s head before he was driven away.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Scuffles broke out between supporters and opponents of the president, with one of his supporters suffering from injured ribs, according to the AFP news agency.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, Milei posted a picture of himself with his thumbs up and accused the opposition of violence. His spokesman, Manuel Adorni, said no one had been injured.<\/p>\n

Milei was later seen being escorted into a black vehicle with tinted windows, as he was asked by local press to comment on what had happened.<\/p>\n

The president was with his chief of staff and sister Karina Milei during the incident.<\/p>\n

He had been campaigning for the October mid-term elections, greeting his supporters and signing books, before he was pelted with objects.<\/p>\n

Milei\u2019s office claimed those who threw the missiles were supporters of the opposition.<\/p>\n

Lomas de Zamora is traditionally known to be a stronghold of the Peronist opposition.<\/p>\n

Local elections take place in Buenos Aires province on 7 September, and midterm elections being on 26 October, both of which give Milei a chance to expand his power in opposition areas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
