Kirchnerist activists, organized by the municipality of Ushuaia, caused disturbances during Milei's visit

The Kirchnerist governor of Tierra del Fuego, Gustavo Melella, publicly supported the attack that took place yesterday against President Javier Milei's walk in Ushuaia, describing it as "a natural mobilization of people."
The statements caused strong criticism, since it was an organized attack by Kirchnerist activists linked to the municipality of Ushuaia.
During a conversation with a Kirchnerist media outlet, Melella downplayed the seriousness of the incident, stating that "it was a natural mobilization" made up of "people from the neighborhoods" who went to "make demands of the president," refusing to label it as an attack.

However, the reality is that there are videos showing Kirchnerist activists throwing glass bottles and stones at Milei's supporters, forcing a change in the location of the planned walk through the city center.
In response to the disruption of his schedule, Milei addressed his supporters with a megaphone in a public area. Despite attempts by opposition mobilizations, the president managed to maintain contact with his support base.

In the days leading up to the event, chats were circulated for convocations organized in groups linked to the provincial and municipal government, led by Melella, to plaster Ushuaia with slogans against the presidential visit.
This type of political violence at mobilizations in support of Milei is not isolated, since in other provinces, such as Buenos Aires, similar incidents have also been recorded, such as attacks on campaign caravans and even an attempted assassination of the president, carried out by Kirchnerist terrorists.
