Milei-Macri: the crossings in a relationship with comings and goings

Since that meeting between Mauricio Macri and Javier Milei In the run-up to last year’s ballot, the relationship between both leaders has had swings and tensions. The PRO leader always asked to have more place in the Government’s decisions. The President always flattered him, but gave little to his requests.

In general, the PRO He almost unconditionally supported all the Government’s measures. There were even sectors led by Patricia Bullrich that promote a merger with La Libertad Avanza, until now rejected by Macri. In parallel, there were several meetings between Macri and Milei with many promises that, apparently, were not always fulfilled.

“Why am I going to continue going to eat Milanese if nothing happens afterwards”said Macri, claiming Milei’s lack of compliance with what was discussed in the several meetings he held with the President at the Olivos residence. The founder of the PRO usually sees the hand of Santiago Caputo behind each disarming of his plays.

This discomfort of Macri was evident in the preview of the attempted rejection of the veto of the university financing lawwhere the PRO He let it be known that it was not guaranteed that his bloc in Deputies would vote together. This forced an emergency meeting between Macri and the president’s star advisor, Santiago Caputo. The Government circulated the version that, basically, it was a request for charges.

These suspicions and accusations have hovered since the beginning of Milei’s government. In response, at the relaunch of the PRO in August, Macri denied it: “We all want the president to do wellMay the Argentines do well. Our only intention is to help, we are not discussing power, positions.”

Finally, after the departure of Chirillo in Energy, the president chose to replace him Maria Tettamanti, a woman linked to Mauricio Macri. Will this calm tensions with Javier Milei?
