After this, Macri explained that “the great challenge that politics has is regain trust“and maintained that “in no country does trust depend on a person, it depends on the institutions.”
During the summit, Macri vindicated the role of the yellow party and stated: “Where we govern, people recognize that they live better.” In this sense, the former president harangued his own people to launch a “PRO 3.0, more federal and more integrated into the world“.
“In 2025 you will find us proposing changes,” Macri said ahead of the 2025 midterm elections and defended the role of his party: ““The PRO is there, I am committed and we are going to make a good electoral proposal.”
The PRO held its last summit of the year
After several months of good relationship – where the PRO legislators took the place of the so-called “dialogue opposition” – the link between Javier Milei and Mauricio Macri It becomes more tense every day, with complaints about different truncated legislative projects (Ficha Clean and union democracy), the cutting of funds for public works in the provinces, the fall of the 2025 Budget and the electoral competition in the city in the face of the elections of the next year.
In this context, and seeking to diagram the horizon of 2025, The PRO leaders met at the Abasto Hotel in the last yellow summit of 2024. The meeting began with the speech of the national representative Maria Eugenia Vidalduring which the former governor of Buenos Aires questioned whether Senator Edgardo Kueider had been expelled after being detained on the border with Paraguay with more than 210 thousand dollars in undeclared cash.
The Kueider issue is one of the most recent points that confronts the ruling party with the dialogue opposition. Initially, both parties aimed to sanction the senator detained in Paraguay with a suspension without pay. However, the agreement was broken during Thursday’s session: “In a country that needs investment, that we need to respect the Constitution, that was the way. Unfortunately, the Senate did not take the path of due process,” said Vidal. On this topic, Macri assured: “Defending the values of the Republic, What happened yesterday in the Senate was a mess“and added that the way to solve the problem was an obvious way to “save all those who they have a dirty assthrowing one out of the window so the beasts calm down.”
The objective of the meeting between the PRO leaders was to make balance of 2024 and project the electoral strategy towards 2025. In this sense, the break with the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich – who maintained strong disagreements with Macri during the year – and the distancing from La Libertad Avanzawere part of this morning’s debates.
The following participated in the conclave: Soledad Martínez, mayor of Vicente López and vice president of the national and Buenos Aires party; the deputy Diego Santilli; the head of the Buenos Aires government Jorge Macri; Fernando de Andreis and Facundo Pérez Carletti..
The party had also summoned the governors Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos) and Nacho Torres (Chubut)and Mayor Guillermo Montenegro (Mar del Plata), who finally did not attend citing scheduling problems.
In this way, Mauricio Macri carried out his last political activity of 2024, year that saw him regain a very high profile in the national political debate as well as in the leadership of his political party.
Mauricio Macri intervened the PRO of Córdoba
One of the most tense moments of the meeting of the National Council of the PRO occurred in the definition of the intervention of the provincial party of Cordoba. The representative of said province, Laura Machado, He expressed his rejection of the measure and asked to resolve the issue in another way.
“Many of the leaders I spoke with had no idea what they were coming to do today. I spoke one by one with the majority of the members who voted to intervene in my province. In fact, it is not even in the minutes that arrived yesterday. “It is included as a decision of the executive board.”, he detailed in his speech.
Furthermore, the representative assured that “the members of my province, whom I defend, today are having breakfast that the party at the national level has intervened in us.” Along these same lines, just days after making official the call for elections to renew party authorities, Agost Carreño accused Macri on social networks of “ignore federalism and democracy to continue killing the great party he founded“.
“Today the PRO Córdoba and all its authorities intervened; “They did it for ideological reasons and to avoid internal elections in order to decide in Buenos Aires the Córdoban candidacies for 2025,” the leader wrote on his social networks. Furthermore, he added that “There is no justification for this arbitrary decision, and I deeply regret that they did not dare to go to the polls, which are the basis of democracy.
Finally, Agost Carreño assured that he will continue “fighting to the last consequences to defend the autonomy and, above all, the political rights of the PRO Córdoba members.” “Federalism, transparency and democracy are not proclaimed, they are practiced,” he concluded.
On the other hand, the former governor Vidal He spoke out in favor of the party position, and stated that it is necessary to organize the space, an idea shared by the deputy. Alejandro Finocchiaro.
During the rally, names emerged to be possible interveners of the PRO in Córdoba. Among these, the Buenos Aires legislator and former secretary of Macri stands out, Dario Nietoalthough finally the former president would have leaned towards Laura Alonso.
The PRO’s claims to Libertad Avanza
One of the main conflicts between both party spaces refers to payment of the co-participation debt. Furthermore, the appearance of posters with the Karina Milei-Manuel Adorni formula for the Federal Capital that anticipate the possibility of an open war between macrismo and the libertarians of Milei in the mother district of the PRO.
In addition, the Pensar Foundation released this week a document titled “Fast and Furious” for the first year of Javier Milei’s government where the achievements in macroeconomic matters stand out (reduction in inflation and country risk, fiscal balance) but they launch harsh criticism in institutional matters.
Among the complaints that the PRO makes in writing to the Casa Rosada appear, “more chainsaw against caste and repeal of privileges, sanction with the force of law end of all privilege retirementsdemocratization and freedom of associationthe anti-blockade lawamong other projects.” In addition, from the space led by Macri they urge the ruling party to “advance in the privatizations that we support in the Bases law” and definitively draw up “an action plan for Aerolíneas Argentinas, establish a transparent salary scale in the three branches of government, including boards of directors of public companies and the sanction of the 2025 Budget in Congress.”
Today will be the Macri’s first public speech since he became president of the National Council of the PRO in La Boca and definitions are awaited for the assembly of an eventual electoral front together with Javier Milei.
