Sebastian Galmarini, leader of the Renovador Front, reignited the debate within the PJD and all popular spaces. In a lengthy post on social media, he stressed that the unity of Peronism in the face of “the violence expressed by Miley” is a sine qua non, but not sufficient, to rebuild competitive power. As he warned, the current scenario requires “leadership, strategic intelligence and political definitions” that allow us to think beyond narrowing ranks.
Galmarini pointed out that despite the cohesion efforts, this unity “was not sufficient” to achieve the electoral goals, although he explained that the interconnectedness of the legislative forces had not undergone fundamental changes, which keeps the dispute open in Congress. “We will continue to discuss what is best for Argentina,” he wrote, noting that the parliamentary mission will be key to containing the ruling party’s advances.
He also questioned the media reading that presented the result as a devastating victory for Javier Maile. For the leader, what happened was “a shock due to false expectations,” more than just a structural rearrangement of the political map. In this sense, he stressed that the elections revealed the need for Peronism with a “common political and electoral strategy” capable of expanding its social base and providing responses to the government’s “aggressions.”
Expand the call
Galmarini suggested that to counter Miley’s model, the popular sphere must abandon the idea that internal unity alone is sufficient. He stressed the importance of building bridges with political, social, cultural and economic actors, in a scenario in which the ruling party advances policies that, in his opinion, directly affect rights and the productive structure.
He explained that this process also means organizing internal nuances: “The differences between us must find a channel and appropriate mechanisms for resolving them. But we must never lose focus on the central goal.” He warned that the dispersion of Peronism would only strengthen the government and weaken the possibility of building a real alternative.
With a clear horizon for the presidential elections set, Galmarini insisted that the challenge facing Peronism is to rethink its leadership and strategy, and not just defend its historical flags. “Only through leadership ability, strategic intelligence and political definitions will we ensure victory in 2027,” he said.
This letter is part of a time of intense debate within the AKP, where demands for leadership renewal, debates over ideological direction and diverging diagnoses about how to confront a liberal government coexist.
In this context, Galmarini’s words serve as a warning and, at the same time, as a call: loneliness remains the starting point, but it cannot be the arrival point.
