Argentinian President Javier Milei was pelted with stones while campaigning for an upcoming election amid an alleged corruption scandal.

While riding in the back of a pickup truck on Wednesday to greet supporters in the city of Lomas de Zamora, near Buenos Aires, Milei was greeted with hostility from demonstrators.

Those protesting his administration's alleged corruption scandal threw plants, rocks and bottles at the President's motorcade and personal vehicle.

The right-wing leader, who is campaigning for October mid-term elections, was whisked away from the scene by his security detail and sustained no injuries.

Once he left, fights erupted between supporters and opponents of the libertarian leader.
