With this, Gianni explained his disagreements with the sector he leads Luis Ontiverostrusted leader of Pareja and strongman of the LLA in La Matanza.
After the last elections, the former Milei official was determined to do so Chairman of the Libertarian Caucus on the Advisory Council with the aim of positioning himself in the fight for Espinoza’s successor in 2027.

Through a statement from the Milei party branch in the third section, the party authorities announced Gianni’s departure. They stressed that because of her “deliberate” decision to break the bench, the elected councilor “does not belong, does not represent him and is not authorized to speak on behalf of the space”. Not only did they accuse her of wanting to “cause internal division,” but they also stressed that her time in the LLA was “merely circumstantial and electorally based, with no militancy or real territorial construction.”
The LLA’s official line was to take over the leadership of the bloc of purple councilors Lorena RamosOntiveros’ partner. With no scope for an agreed exit, Gianni decided to double down and agreed with the pro representatives. She didn’t want to be excluded beforehand. “She wants to be Milei’s sword in La Matanza, as the president told her to be. And they didn’t want to let her work. They must be afraid of losing their boxes or having their shady dealings reported,” say those close to Gianni.

It was a request that came from the top of the Casa Rosada.
