President Javier Milei arrived in Mar del Plata to join his ex-partner Fátima Flórez's show and lead the closing of the Derecha Fest. During the visit, a young man was detained after hitting his official truck. The agenda features a combative speech on political reforms.
President Javier Milei arrived in Mar del Plata on January 27, 2026, around 9 p.m., at the Teatro Roxy, where he was received by Fátima Flórez, who leads the show “Fátima Universal”. Accompanied by his sister Karina Milei, secretary general of the Presidency, and the Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Petovello, Milei rehearsed with the artist and will sing “El Rock del Gato”, an iconic song by Los Ratones Paranoicos. Flórez highlighted: “His voice came out spectacular”, and described the president as “super comfortable” during the rehearsal, though there was no time to discuss national issues due to the tight schedule. This is not the first time Milei has performed the song; he did so previously at the Movistar Arena. Flórez confirmed he will sing it at the end of the show, in a camaraderie-filled backstage atmosphere. Afterward, Milei will join the Derecha Fest at the Horizonte Club de Playa parador, a free event gathering militants from La Libertad Avanza (LLA) and conservative and libertarian figures. The festival combines speeches, music, and symbolism to reinforce the “cultural battle” promoted by the leader. Milei will close with a combative speech, addressing his vision of national politics and reforms such as labor and juvenile penal law modifications. The visit is part of the “Tour of Gratitude”, started the previous night at the Hermitage hotel with a walk alongside supporters, where he signed shirts amid cheers and jeers. A tense incident occurred upon leaving the theater: a young man hit Milei's official truck and was detained by at least six police officers with shields, amid protests. A journalist recounted: “When the vehicle passed, he hit it and was detained by the police”. The detainee was taken to the first police station and placed at the disposal of the Justice. The agenda prioritizes public acts to consolidate Milei's leadership in the officialism.
