Five days on from the tragedy that swept through the port city, President Javier Milei travelled to Bahía Blanca, southern Buenos Aires Province, to oversee reconstruction. Milei’s arrival in Bahía Blanca came after he was criticised for failing to visit the storm-thrashed city. Immediately after his visit, he pledged 200 million pesos (approximately US$185 million) for the reconstruction of the deluge-stricken city. Heavy storms and dangerous flooding last Friday left 16 people dead in the port city. Around a hundred remain missing.
