With the momentum of recovery management and institutional stability, Javier Milei took his electoral campaign to the Argentine Litoral, strengthening his presence in Corrientes, one of the most complex provinces for the expansion of La Libertad Avanza (LLA).
After a stop in Resistencia, Chaco, where he was received by Governor Leandro Zdero, the President crossed the General Belgrano bridge toward the capital of Corrientes, accompanied by his sister Karina Milei and candidate Virginia Gallardo, with the goal of supporting the libertarian candidates ahead of the October 26 elections.

On the Corrientes waterfront, under an intense sun and with temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), Milei spoke with a megaphone in hand before a crowd of supporters. "We are at a turning point in our history. We have to choose between this model, where inflation, poverty, and indigence are falling, where we put an end to roadblocks; or return to the Kirchnerist narco-state full of thieves," the president exclaimed, provoking an ovation from those present.
"Although we know there is still much to do, we are on the right path. The ideas of liberty will bring prosperity to all of us," he added. The president took advantage of his visit to Corrientes to support Virginia Gallardo, candidate for national deputy, who leads the LLA list in the province.

This is a bold move, after a performance below expectations in the provincial elections in August, where the party received less than 10% of the votes. This time, the libertarians will compete without alliances with the Valdés administration, facing the PJ and dissident sectors of radicalism.
However, the campaign in the province has not been free of tension. Days earlier, the LLA party headquarters at 1600 25 de Mayo Street was threatened with an anti-Semitic message directed at the President himself: "Tell the false Jew that if he doesn't resign, he and his entire entourage, we are going to massacre them. The AK 47s are ready. Death to the infidels. Allahu Akbar," read the sign, found at the headquarters by a supporter on October 1.
The Federal Justice is investigating the incident under the supervision of prosecutor Melina Perborell, following the complaint by legal representative David Moulín, who submitted images from security cameras as evidence. Despite the threats and an adverse political climate, Milei appeared firm and confident, reaffirming his commitment to the country's structural change. "Don't give up, because either liberty advances or Argentina falls behind," he repeated before a crowd chanting his name.
Earlier in Chaco, the President had also led a massive rally in Belgrano Square in Resistencia, where hundreds of supporters welcomed him with Argentine flags, radical insignias, and purple balloons. There he highlighted the alliance with Governor Zdero, with whom he keeps a solid institutional relationship and who has shown support for national policies.
