A wave of looting and attacks on supermarkets is currently taking place in Argentina. A series of crimes have been reported in the cities of Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Neuquén and Córdoba.
To date, 56 people have been arrested in the capital. The surge in criminal activity began last weekend.
During the early hours of Wednesday, looting incidents were also reported in La Plata, and there are rumors that more looting may occur tonight in Bahía Blanca, according to the news channel “TN”.
Argentina’s presidential spokeswoman, Gabriela Cerruti, said these episodes were instigated by supporters of right-wing candidate Javier Milei of the La Libertad Avanza coalition.
Milei is one of the favorites in the presidential race after leading in the primary elections on August 13.
