Argentina's political landscape is gearing up for the upcoming October legislative elections with key candidacies announced across major parties. Javier Milei's La Libertad Avanza (LLA) alliance, which includes the PRO party, has presented a slate dominated by libertarian figures for the City of Buenos Aires (CABA). Notable candidates include Virginia Gallardo for Corrientes and Luis Petri, the Minister of Defense, who will run for a seat in Mendoza's Chamber of Deputies under the newly formed LLA + Cambia Mendoza coalition, which also involves Governor Alfredo Cornejo. Patricia Bullrich was confirmed as a senatorial candidate for CABA, accompanied by an economist on the list, while Petri will also run for national deputy in Mendoza. The Peronist faction has designated Itaí Hagman as its lead candidate for deputies in CABA and Jorge Taiana for Buenos Aires Province. The Frente de Izquierda has finalized its candidates with Myriam Bregman and Christian Castillo heading the lists in CABA, and Nicolás del Caño and Myriam Bregman leading in other districts. In Córdoba, libertarians have introduced businessman Gonzalo Roca to challenge incumbent Juan Schiaretti. Meanwhile, political dynamics include internal tensions such as Karina Milei's veto against Bullrich, which affects candidate lists. Additionally, federal prosecutor Federico Dominguez filed charges against President Javier Milei and several associates following a journalist's complaint. On the judicial front, the widow of a former secretary to Néstor and Cristina Kirchner has been processed with an expanded embargo amounting to $38 million. These developments set the stage for a competitive electoral environment with significant implications for Milei's mandate and the broader political balance in Argentina.
