Buenos Aires, Argentina – In a powerful display of resilience, President Javier Milei has sent a message of defiance to his cabinet following a recent incident where he was attacked with stones and other objects during a campaign tour in Lomas de Zamora. The President, known for his unconventional style, expressed that he was in high spirits and felt “exultant,” viewing the aggression as a clear sign of his opponents’ “desperation.”

The message, shared in a private government chat, was infused with a competitive spirit and a direct challenge to his political rivals. Using a compelling football analogy, Milei asserted that the incident did not intimidate him. On the contrary, he stated that it made him eager “to get on the field and give greater intensity to the campaign,” signaling his firm resolve to press forward with his agenda despite facing resistance.

The President also drew on a personal anecdote, recalling a similar incident involving his father at a Boca Juniors football match, to underscore his long-held belief that he thrives in adversity. Following the aggression, which led to two arrests, the government announced it would implement enhanced security measures for the remaining campaign events. Milei’s unwavering determination serves as a potent symbol of his commitment to his political vision and his readiness to confront any obstacles in his path.
