Patricia Bullrich spoke about Mauricio Macri and the place of the PRO in the City

Then he referred to the possibility of Macri going as senator for the city of Buenos Aires. “If there is something that Macri would not be interested in, it is being a candidate, because if you look at the history of the former presidents who were senators, Alfonsín, Sanguinetti, Mujica, they ended up resigning,” he said and added: “Someone who has been president, going to “That fight in the Senate… Let him do what he wants, but it seems to me that it does not give more power to go to the Senate and, furthermore, it is a task that does not give more space to someone who is a former president.”

Regarding who should govern the City, whether the PRO or La Libertad Avanza, the minister avoided answering directly and spoke of the importance of accompanying projects. “The problem is not whether the PRO governs in the City. What has to govern is the project of change”, he remarked in dialogue with TN.

The idea that governs the country is an idea that must be applied everywhere: shrinking the State, reasonable taxes, a situation of returning money to the people. Many things that mark the pace of the changes and the philosophy of the changes.”
