Ramiro Marra, outside the ruling party: the back room of Karina Milei’s play

The expulsion of Ramiro Marra De la Libertad Avanza did not surprise anyone at Casa Rosada or in the legislator’s environment, where they knew that the economist had the days counted in the ranks of the ruling party. In both terminals they also admit that the play “was all of the boss”, that is, of Karina Mileiwho had it between eyebrow and eyebrow for a long time.

The president’s sister entered Airosa this Thursday by the esplanade located on Rivadavia Avenue with her dog Thortowards the meeting of Javier Milei’s small table. It is not for less: in the same week he managed to remove two people who did not enjoy their trust -a factor sine qua non– To stay in lla. In addition to Marra, the other fallen out of favor was the former Secretary of the Press, Eduardo Serenellini.

In official offices they admitted Scope That the drop that overwhelmed the glass came in December, when Marra said in a television studio that his link with Karina Milei was “ten points.” At that time, In Balcarce 50 they came out quickly to clarify that they did not talk from the campaign at the Libertador Hotel.

Karina Milei and Ramiro Marra: The behind the expulsion scene

Since those times, the official watched with distrust how the public image of Marra and He objected that the economist would like to have direct treatment with Milei without first going through his filter.

Despite this, the legislator knew how to occupy a position in the president’s advice, although Even on that occasion, the Secretary of the Presidency informed her that the appointment did not have her approval With a gesture that went unnoticed by many but not in the palatial inmates: when the spokesman Manuel Adorni – a confidence man of Karina – announced in March 2024 how the body was formed that would advise Milei in economic matters, forgot just to mention Marrasomething that rectified later.

Under macrismo domain, The control over the activity of Marra and Eugenio Casielles, its political partner, was difficult. Both had faced a risky play barely finished the campaign: confront with Karina, an intern in which both would end up losing.

For this problem, Karina also put in charge of the negotiation. On Wednesday, before knowing the expulsion of the legislator, Pilar Ramírez – whom the president’s sister knows since years – put his own block with Lucía Montenegro and Leonardo Saifert.

As if this were not expected that this Saturday, while a massive mobilization is expected in repudiation of Javier Milei’s statements in Davos, Karina Milei participates in an affiliation day in the district that Jorge Macri governs.

After this comment, the official statement of La Libertad advances, according to which they made the decision to expel him “for not following the guidelines of the party and have voted in favor of the unacceptable tax increase in the city of Buenos Aires“

In that sense, the ruling party warned that “all those who do not respect the agenda of the President will be expelled. It doesn’t matter who they are. “
