The low intensity war in Buenos Aires territory has its impact on the City Legislature, where the vote must be taken. Budget 2025 and there will also be a new session for the urban code, a law that generated a strong clash between LLA and the PRO on the premises at the end of September.
Mauricio Macri’s offer
Macri proposed to Milei a macro agreement for the creation of a front in the City and in the province of Buenos Aires. On Buenos Aires soil, land where Jorge Macri rules, the PRO would lead the ballots with 70% of the places for Marist candidates and 30% for the Libertarians.
While in the province of Buenos Aires the scheme would be reversed, with José Luis Espert in first place on the ballot for candidates for national deputies and one place in three for the PRO. TO Diego Santillithe most coveted piece by LLA, would reserve third place on the list.
However, this format would not have been approved by the iron triangle that makes up the President along with Karina Milei and Santiago Caputo. The presidential advisor was in charge of sedating Macri with the appointment of María Tettamanti to the Energy Secretariat. The official was director of the Camuzzi gas distributor, owned by Alejandro Macfarlane, a personal friend of Macri. However, he would not be able to gain a foothold in the structure of the State to be able to disembark with his staff. And he would have already expressed his discomfort in the position.
But Macri not only has direct access to Milei and Caputo. He maintains frequent conversations with Sandra Pettovello, the Minister of Human Capital who placed second and third lines of the PRO within her portfolio.
Macri, however, fails to pierce Karina’s resistance. The general secretary of the Presidency is the creator of LLA at the national level and is in charge of advancing the City of Buenos Aires. It is at that vertex of the triangle where the agreements that, in private, the head of the PRO tries to weave with the President fall apart.
The danger of offering the PRO an adhesion contract in electoral matters, where the only option is to abide by the ruling party’s offer to assemble the ballots in the City and province of Buenos Aires, is that the front will break and divide the vote against Peronism. . That is the projection they make at the Instituto Patria with a hyperactive Cristina de Kirchner in the Buenos Aires suburbs and also at the forefront of a low intensity war with Axel Kicillof.
In private, Macri maintains that the macroeconomic stability that Milei achieved, from exchange stability, to the reduction of country risk, fiscal balance and even downward inflation, is due to the support that the PRO gave to the ruling party in the Congress. Not only to approve the basic law but also to uphold the vetoes of the retirement mobility law and the educational financing law.
Clamor in LLA for Karina Milei?
“It depends on her, but yes, we are evaluating it,” confirmed a close collaborator of Karina Milei in relation to a possible candidacy of the President’s sister next year in the province of Buenos Aires. At Casa Rosada they are aware that Espert’s figure is not enough to attract votes in the country’s main electoral district, added to the challenge that LA Libertad Avanza, since 2021, has never presented a ballot without the “Milei” brand at the top of the offer electoral. The only precedent was the 2023 elections split in the provinces where the LLA failed to win in any district.
In a scenario of rupture in the City, Manuel Adorni could lead the ticket for national senator and in Casa Rosada they do not rule out even playing Patricia Bullrich as the first candidate for deputy to detonate the PRO electorate and bring votes to LLA.
The tension between both spaces beats in the City Legislature where the urban code, a double-reading law, will have to be voted on again. After having been approved, the project must face public hearings to, once this process has been passed, land again in the Legislature to be definitively approved.
“They intend an Urban Planning Code that will govern the future of our city for four years, although we have just found out that it will be for eight years. They sent us the latest version just an hour and a half ago, and it is totally different from the opinion that was approved, and different from the one we received this morning. The changes came without time to analyze them, it is not serious,” he stated during the debate on the project in his speech.
