Nobody wants the blood to finally reach the riverand even less so at the beginning of a decision-making phase on legislative issues. But beyond the expression of goodwill The libertarian and Macrist partners showed their teeth againon both sides of General Paz Avenue.
Dissidence regarding the open Debt proposed by the Kirchnerist governor Axel Kicillof In the Buenos Aires legislature in recent days there have been rifts and ruptures in the political marriage of convenience in the advisory bodies of Bahía Blanca, Pilar, Necochea and Villa Gesellwith libertarians accusing Macristas of collusion with Peronist mayors and pro-leaders making clear they enjoy “autonomy” to hold positions outside their command Karina Milei and his boss from Buenos Aires, Sebastian Pareja.
In the CityMeanwhile, harmony and dialogue between the national government and the Buenos Aires government have improved, but the fight for 2027 is still in force, with key scenarios like that Buenos Aires Legislaturewhere the arrival of Silvia Lospennato As a reference for Pro, he warns the purple hosts he leads Pilar Ramireza reference for the powerful Secretary General of the Presidency in the Buenos Aires area.
“It seems to me that Pro doesn’t understand the logic of this space. This is where you have to show up and never cut yourself off.”sums up a legislative sword that responds to the power of the Milei brothers without batting an eyelid. The reference is explicit and refers to Pro’s “agreement” in the province to guarantee a portion of the debt (to try to provide a turn around of existing debt), while the libertarians voted against it.
couple and also Patricia Bullrich (now leader of the libertarian bloc in the Senate) still look askance at the Macrista allies Cristian Ritondo And Diego Santilliand they accuse them of “negotiating” positions such as two seats on the provincial bench and a vice-presidency of the provincial chamber of deputies for one of the leaders closest to the interior minister, Agustin Forchieri.
“Pro’s strategy was Pro’s,” Pareja said THE NATION on Sunday before the unit blew up at the Deliberative Council of Bahía Blanca, where pro-council members and those who answer to the mayor were present Federico Susbielles They agreed to move Advances in freedom the Presidency and find a guide there near Ritondo.
Also in Necochea LLA and Pro voted splitly for the new authorities and in Villa Gesell The UCR terminated its pact with Pro and eventually allied itself with the local mayor. There were serious counterpoints in Pilar, as Pro supported the tariff increase ordered by the mayor Federico Achával. “We don’t know the strategy, but there is a partner who wouldn’t stick to it,” they shouted from Pareja’s office.
One of the few places where the unit remained was Mar del Plata, where the mayor was Guillermo Montenegro (which belongs to the Macristas group allied with Ritondo and Santilli) gave up the presidency of the Deliberative Council to LLA, although he was in the minority. “Guillermo kept his word to Pareja, despite Pro Nacional insistence that he would not,” says a source with intimate knowledge of the exchanges – apparently unfriendly – between Montenegro and the leaders reporting to the former president. Mauricio Macri.
The former president, who remained active this week but remained silent on the radio, maintains his position of “supporting what was done well and criticizing what was wrong,” as he expressed at his party’s last meeting. And he has not backed down on his prediction: “Pro will have a candidate for president in 2027.”
They defend themselves vigorously against Santilli and Ritondo. “Diego and Cristian constantly carry the olive tree of peace in their hands. The important thing is to maintain unity and what happens in the districts corresponds to local logic.”say representatives close to the Interior Minister. They assure that there were no compromises in the province of Buenos Aires and that Santilli “warned Pareja” that in the case of debt the Pro vote would be different than that of the LLA.
“The vice-presidencies are awarded according to the number of representatives, the libertarians also received one,” replied Santilliismo. They prefer not to get involved in controversies about 2027, affirming that “Diego’s goal today is that the 2026 budget and laws are passed with the support of the governors”, although Pareja and other libertarian leaders, such as the former mayor of Tres de Febrero, now a licensed senator and possible immigration official, Diego ValenzuelaThey insist that the next candidate for governor of Buenos Aires “must be purple” and not pro.
In the city, the improved climate between the Casa Rosada and the head of government helped restore dialogue. “We are doing well, the dialogue is flowing,” they say from the building on Uspallata Street, assuring that negotiations on the co-participation funds have begun Jorge Macri with the Minister of Economics, Luis “Toto” Caputoand continued in other meetings, it is about “moving forward”.
In any case, in the last extended cabinet meeting attended by Ritondo, and also in meetings with his libertarian interlocutors, Macri made it clear that his goal is to pursue his goal Re-election in 2027 a goal that a priori clashes with libertarian desires to rule the city. “You have to see, we are finally competing in a center-right PASO,” they say, coldly addressing the government of Buenos Aires, where they see the chief of staff as a possible rival. Manuel AdorniWinner of the parliamentary elections last May.
The libertarians, meanwhile, noted the arrival of Lospennato as head of the bloc, rival of Adorni in this election and bearer of a confrontational speech against the government during her time in the Chamber of Deputies, with highlights in the case of the Clean Chit law. “They have so far chosen to build with the PJ and not with us,” said another official Libertarian source.
There are no intentions to separate, but both partners appear Uncomfortable in the photo of the unit.
