The Spin

Pro-government narrative

Terrorists orchestrated a coordinated assassination attempt against President Milei during a peaceful campaign rally. These violent leftists, desperate to maintain their corrupt system that impoverished Argentina, resorted to throwing stones because they lack ideas to counter Milei's successful economic reforms that have lifted millions out of poverty.

Government-critical narrative

Milei's government faces its worst moment as widespread public rejection forces officials to flee campaign events amid serious corruption allegations. The bribery scandal has triggered anger and protests across multiple provinces, exposing the hypocrisy of an administration that promised to end corruption while enriching itself through the most vulnerable populations.
