A slew of international far-right leaders will be present in Argentina for Sunday’s general elections to act as “international observers” invited by libertarian presidential hopeful Javier Milei. Among the most prominent are Brazilian politician Eduardo Bolsonaro and members of the right-wing Spanish party Vox, who have all voiced their support for the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) candidate.

Jair Bolsonaro’s son will arrive on Sunday morning and will accompany LLA provincial deputy Nahuel Sotelo when he goes to vote. Two other Brazilian politicians will also be in Argentina. Federal deputy and businessman Rodrigo Valadares, who is already in Argentina, and conservative leader Marcel Van Hattem, a member of the liberal Brazilian party Partido Novo (New Party), who will also arrive on Sunday.

LLA sources confirmed to Télam news agency that the three Brazilian leaders will be present at La Libertad Avanza’s Hotel Libertador campaign center in Buenos Aires to await Sunday’s results.

The Spanish delegation is headed by far-right European Parliament member Hermann Tertsch, far-right think tank Fundación Disenso director Jorge Martín Frías, and Madrid Forum director Eduardo Cader. 

Santiago Muzio, an Argentine lawyer and member of the French far-right institution Higher Institute of Economic Sociology (ISSEP, by its French acronym), will also be present. Muzzio works with Marion Merechal, niece the French leader Marine Le Pen.
