The deputy’s slamming of the door Lourdes Arrieta to the block of La Freedom Advances (LLA) had aftershocks in his small town, Mendozawhere libertarians are the protagonists an internal conflict to gain control of the label. In the background lies the intention of the ruling party, with Karina Milei at the head, to formalize the party at a national level so as not to depend on borrowed structures in the 2025 legislative elections.
Harassed by the scandal of the visit to repressors convicted of crimes against humanity, Arrieta chose to distance herself and began to ventilate the kitchen of the landing in the Ezeiza Prison, which included a photo with Alfredo Astizamong other genocidalThe sequence exhausted the patience of the implacable Secretary General of the Presidency, who gave the thumbs down to the person who until a few weeks ago was one of her pawns in the lower house.
Thus, on the eve of his expulsion from LLA, Arrieta took the bull by the horns and announced his departure from the bench to form a single block.Nor I can be part of a place where they don’t respect me or the President’s agenda,” The Mendoza leader fired when she said that she will form “Forces of Heaven – Liberal Space”, whose loyalty to the Casa Rosada is unknown. In the midst of the storm, the deputy was removed from the leadership of the party in Mendoza. That position will now be occupied by her former colleague in Congress Facundo Correa Llano.
Mendoza: The internal affairs of La Libertad advance to constitute itself as a party
While the ejection of the senator from Formosa Francisco Paoltroni deepens the bleeding of the party at the national level, in Mendoza lands the episodes added tension to an internal front that many leaders define as “chaotic.”They are all in their own, they failed to coordinate a common project,” graphed to Scope a radical official who is closely following the crossfire. It happens that there are different tribes competing to control the label’s destiny with the intention of participating in the assembly that Karina Milei plans for the entire country.
“It wasn’t that surprising here because it’s a bit of a mess. All the important leaders of the province were involved in the LLA and it was a collage,” commented a Peronist voice from the district. He added: “A mess was made. In Mendoza, La Libertad Avanza today does not have its own reference. They joined the franchise and grabbed a place. Everyone ignores it, but that is the reality.”
Indeed, in the internal struggles to form LLA, forces of different origin intervene that paved the way from Milei to Balcarce 50. One of them is La Unión Mendocina (LUM), the space founded by Omar de Marchifrom the PRO, who last year challenged Alfredo Cornejo in the gubernatorial elections. Also others with a great political tradition at the local level, such as the Democratic Partyand short-life experiences, such as the case of Libertarian Party (PL)where Arrieta comes from.
“Arrieta was an instrument. They look for people with due obedience. Who do and say what they want; they answer the phone when they feel like it, then, if they want to spend ten months completely ignoring you, they do it,” commented to Scope the president of the PL of Mendoza, Jose Caviglia. Although he acknowledges his support for the Government’s political initiatives, Caviglia criticizes the axis formed by Karina Milei, Santiago Caputo and Martin Menem, those who are accused of living “in a permanent campaign.”
“They don’t even measure the damage they do to the Government from a parliamentary point of view. If you have to build consensus, because you have a minority, and what you generate is a different scandal every week and you end up losing legislators or you end up promoting the appointment of Lijo, which not even the vice president shares… I think there are limits,” the leader said. At the same time, he warned that in La Libertad Mendoza advances “He who obeys is inside and he who does not is pointed at.”
In this regard, he pointed out that it is not an experience exclusive to the province, but that the forms are repeated in other jurisdictions of the country. He also recalled that Arrieta came to Congress with his group and that, as soon as he took office, he disassociated himself from the space: “Assigning her a task of greater responsibility, such as the creation of LLA, including interference in executive matters such as the creation of PAMI in the province… at one point she became the voice of Karina Milei and Martín Menem, and the political interlocutor of Buenos Aires,” he indicated, emphasizing the deputy’s inexperience.
The LLA – PRO alliance and the war over fake endorsements
The Mendoza branch of La Libertad Avanza has already gone through high tension peaks. Months ago, Arrieta fought with the lawyer Alejandro Barraza to make a name for the party. Although the legislator was a pioneer in the adventure, Barraza managed to gather the signatures earlier. However, with Karina’s nod and a conciliation hearing in between, the leader won the match. But the joy was short-lived.: Days later she was denounced for presenting fake endorsements, which included dead people and figures from other political affiliations. His brother is accused of this cause, Martin Arrieta.
In fact, The province is a test tube for a possible merger between the PRO and LLA. There, both spaces, in conjunction with the Democratic Party, work together on various issues. The yellow internal is also part of this structure. On the one hand, De Marchi managed to regain control of the party through Gabriel Pradineswho last month defeated the current vice-governor in the internal elections Hebe Casado. These movements are closely observed by the governor. Alfredo Cornejowho has no possibility of re-election.

This week, Casado told the Séptimo Día program that “Javier Milei had more value in 9 months than Mauricio Macri in four years.” Along those lines, he also pointed against the demarche sector, which he accused of “trying to ingratiate themselves with Mileiism but in action they are not and they have voted everything with Kirchnerism.”
Following Arrieta’s departure, the block of libertarian national deputies has three Mendoza deputies: Alvaro Martinez (PRO), Mercedes Llano (PD) and the current holder of LLA in the province, Facundo Correa Llanowho also trained in the ranks of the PD. Correa Llano is also the former son-in-law of Carlos Balter, the head of the national Democratic Party. Within the official line that reports to Milei, they are excited that the legislator’s displacement will end up putting the local front in order. “Its structure was not going well, it had many errors,” they indicated to this medium. And they added, with suspicion: “In the last few days, it ended up being very functional to the Union for the Fatherland bloc.”
Last June, a provincial source consulted by Ámbito in the context of the conflicts over the formation of LLA in various districts stated: “They have tremendous incompetence. Deputy Arrieta takes over the party as if it were a family patrimony. The party’s representatives are her and her brother. If they don’t open it, they will end up crashing the car.”
