With just a few days left until the end of the year, the panorama of the legislative elections of 2025 begin to take shape. The City of Buenos Aires was, in recent days, the focus of debate on the electoral calendar due to its decision to split the elections with respect to the national ones and for their search to suspend the Simultaneous and Mandatory Open Primaries (PASO) in the district.
In detail, the 2025 elections will bring into play – in the majority of the country – the dispute for legislative representatives. In this scenario, Buenos Aires citizens must go to vote in two different processes: for the city, 30 seats in the CABA legislature will be renewed, while at the national level 13 seats for deputies and 3 for senators will be up for grabs.
In detail, the Buenos Aires legislature will renew 30 seats in the 2025 legislative elections. In this framework, the ruling party led by Macri will put 8 seats at stake since the terms of Juan Pablo Arenaza, Emmanuel Ferrario, María Cecilia Ferrero, María Luisa González Estevarena and Paola Vanesa Michielotto will end.
For its part, Freedom Advances will put before the voters a total of 6 places. Among them are legislators Ramiro Marra, Rebeca Fleitas, Marina Kienast, Lucía Montenegro, Jorge Reta and Leonardo Saifert.
Regarding Peronism, grouped in Union for the Homeland (UxP) a total of 7 seats will be put into play following the spaces that will be left by the parliamentarians Maia Daer, Berenice Iañez, Juan Pablo Modarelli, Victoria Montenegro, Juan Pablo O’Dezaille, María Magdalena Tiesso and Juan Manuel Valdés. While the radicalism will seek to renew the 3 places that expire in 2025.
But that will not be all: after the local elections, the people of Buenos Aires will have to return to the places authorized for voting – initially agreed for October 26, 2025 – to elect 13 national deputies and 3 senators. In this sense, Together for Change will put seven seats into play against the three of Unión por la Patria and the two of La Libertad Avanza.
Jorge Macri unfolds the elections in the City and seeks to suspend the PASO
As Ámbito advancedthe head of the Buenos Aires Government confirmed last Friday that the City will split the elections for legislators and community members and announced that it will seek to suppress the PASO. “We decided to split the legislative elections of the City of Buenos Aires and, jointly, We are going to send a project and call the legislature to extraordinary sessions to discuss the suspension of the PASO in CABA“, he said during the event in which he announced the measure.
In detail, this confirms that the election of Buenos Aires legislators and community members will be carried out in advance of the deputies and senators who will represent the City in Congress. The brand new spokesperson for the Buenos Aires government, Laura Alonso, confirmed that Election day will take place on Sunday, July 6. “We need legislators who discuss the City’s issues and not play to occupy a place on a list,” said Macri.
In this line of seeking a local agenda, the head of Government exemplified: “Does the port have to remain national or will they finally move to the city? Because the ports do not depend on the nation in the rest of the provinces. Or the Retiro bus station, which seems incredible but is managed by the national government.”
“All provinces have split electionsHere we announced that we would have split elections again and it was the news of the week. The City of Buenos Aires has that magnitude,” the Buenos Aires official responded to the criticism received after the measure.
Finally, Macri also insisted on the suspension of the PASO and, when asked about the possibility of the project being approved, he responded: “Majorities must be built, it is never easy. I think so, I think we can have the number.“.
