Regarding the street closures, Macri targeted the Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich. “Although some believe that this is their credit, believe us that 9 out of 10 pickets were avoided by the Buenos Aires City Police. Without a doubt it has been easier to achieve it in harmony with the national government. But we were there, our police were there, our social teams later came to lend a hand. There we were present defending the most beautiful thing we have, which is this wonderful City. And we are not going to hand her over and we are going to continue defending her,” he said.

The head of Government stated that the City is in harmony with the National Government. It is about “accompaniment, but setting limits.” And he emphasized: “This City is not a bargaining chip nor the war booty of a national political agreement.

But the City comes first before other national discussions.”
Regarding the future of the PRO, a party currently led by his cousin and former president, Mauricio Macri, he again targeted Bullrich: “Some say that the PRO was. We didn’t go. Here we are. Alive and kicking. And wanting to fight.”

Because never in our life do we bet on someone failing to have our place in politics.” “We wish them to have the greatest success,” he continued, because also “if the country does well, this City flies. Then we will be there.” Giving a hand But also setting a limit.”
“If they come for things that are a limit for us, we are going to set them. Because we did not come to float in the exercise of power. We do things with conviction. And with that conviction we were defending many of the president’s ideas. Throughout this whole year. Many times with political cost for us. But because we believed that they were in favor of the common good. With the same firmness we are going to say when we think it is not,” he added.
Co-participation, Port and Justice, Jorge Macri’s claims
