However, the official himself acknowledged that there had already been previous incidents in Mar del Plata, Bahía Blanca, La Plata, and Junín, all within Buenos Aires province, which highlights the inability of Axel Kicillof's administration to guarantee security in its territory.
Alonso acknowledges that Milei was "unprotected"
In radio statements, the Buenos Aires minister asserted: "I asked for 50 more security officers to accompany because we saw that the President was unprotected."

The deployment included Gendarmerie, Federal Police, special groups, and even snipers, but not even that device prevented stones from hitting the presidential motorcade. Alonso acknowledged that "the stone flew and they exposed the President to a delicate situation", shifting responsibility to the Casa Rosada and not taking responsibility for the violence from his political sector.
The double discourse of Buenos Aires Kirchnerism
While claiming to condemn violence, Alonso blamed the national government and Milei's own campaign for "stirring up social tensions". He even accused leaders such as José Luis Espert of provoking demonstrators at previous events. The strategy was clear: to play the victim and, at the same time, blame others to cover up Kicillof's lack of territorial control.

The contrast is evident: the same minister who claims that "they protected him" admits that the President ended up "running" and had to be rescued from a failed operation. Added to this is the fact that one of the detainees belongs to the Kirchnerist group H.I.J.O.S., which fuels suspicions about the provincial government's passivity toward violent allied groups.
Kicillof and Alonso, without answers after another security failure
Far from taking responsibility, Axel Kicillof's administration once again showed improvisation, lack of coordination, and a contradictory discourse. The incidents in Lomas de Zamora not only put the President at risk, but also exposed the inability of Buenos Aires Kirchnerism to guarantee order and security in its own territory.
Milei's motorcade, which was supposed to be a campaign event in support of local candidates, ended with attacks on voters and the President himself. Instead of answers, the province chose to blame others. The reality is that, once again, insecurity in Buenos Aires province overwhelmed Kicillof himself.
