Maybe the date wasn’t the best. Freedom Advances (LLA) He exhibited his national party card on Saturday, which enables him to run in the 2025 elections without borrowing stamps. But in the rapidly changing dynamics of the libertarian era, the launch grabbed Javier Milei against the leg. And, the goalkeeper President knows, when that happens the ball generally reaches the back of the net.
An indicator of poverty that left more than half the country on the other side of the wall, the imminent university march that promises to be massive and forceful, unions on alert and with announced strikes, an internal one that does not give in and that moved to Parque Lezama, more cabinet officials who are saying goodbye, allies who are already looking askance and moving away from the photo, surveys that reflect greater disapproval. All at once, in a short period of time. He received more LLA goals in recent days than in what had passed in his management. The chainsaw without consequences seems to be, at least, under discussion. Premature wear and tear and need for results. Or, at the very least, to control the agenda.
The return to Parque Lezama, a epic of the supposed original mythleft differences with that founding act of 2021, when the libertarians of the first hour cheered. The anti-caste discourse remains, but leaders who are part of this administration but who have already worked on other, varied ones, now appeared on the stage. Patricia Bullrich, perhaps the best example. Luis Caputo, Federico Sturzenegger, Guillermo Francos, also heard Javier Milei rant against “the rotten caste”, without blushing.
Of the Carlos Maslatón and the Ramiro Marrato a weapon that crystallizes the power of Karina Mileiwho will preside over the brand new party. The President’s sister shouldered the work in the provinces that allowed LLA to obtain legal status in numerous districts, and she is also a kind of bodyguard for the President. On Saturday night she was the first to speak “where it all began” and He was enthusiastic about “filling Congress” next year. She also became emotional, a first-timer in these speeches, when remembering a hug with her brother after last year’s electoral victory.
2025 is an eternity away. There are intermediate objectives that will set the price of LLA as a rookie party. But what until a couple of weeks ago seemed overwhelming, is not now. Who will set the pulse of the alliance with the PRO, what will the radicals and generous provincialists do. Facts that remain to be seen.
Panic show reloaded
Milei doubled down. He targeted the caste, against the journalists, against the pollsters, against “the kukas” in a more energetic way than usual. He repeated the rap that gave him success in the campaign. He appealed to the ethereal mystique of “the great libertarian feat”. He reviewed the brief history of his political career, giving Karina credit for having registered for the party. He thanked the “colossus” Luis Caputo and Patricia Bullrich. Also to “the doll” of Francos and Sandra Pettovello. A hyper-repeated speech, where he annualized the estimated inflation of 17,000%, “the jobs” of public works, social organizations and so many things already heard, although last night he seemed overloaded, with more outbursts than ever.
Likewise, not only Karina formalized her power. Also Martín Menem, vice president of LLAregistered his place at the table, despite the darts he had received both for the scandals of the inmates in Deputies that decimated the block, and for the backfire sent by Mauricio Macri to install to Cristian Ritondo in the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. Menem tired provinces with Karina, he is one of the few figures he has LLA outside of Buenos Aires. It was recognized, it is no small thing.
Furthermore, Milei himself mentioned for the first time “iron triangle” and made Santiago Caputo explicit as one of its vertices. This fact is not minor, especially after the departure on Thursday night of Mario Russo of the Ministry of Health. Caputo maintains his status on the Milei scale, and stoked the promotion of Mario Lugones to Healthbeyond the “personal reasons” given by Russo in his resignation, who in the process will save the political cost of dengue in the summer (could the mosquito that Milei swallowed on stage have been sent by the now former minister?). The bleeding of officials continues, and the gale does not stop. The internal ones are open to the sky, and yesterday there was a notable absence: Victoria Villarruel. The vice president had another encounter with the President and did not join the “panic show”, in what seems like another example of the rupture without return.
The libertarian postcard also highlights Sebastian Pareja already Pilar Ramirezbearers of the seal in the two central districts for LLA: Buenos Aires and CABA.
Bubble vs reality
In any case, beyond the libertarian bubble, there is a real world, where poverty and destitution continue to grow. The V bounce is less than a chimera, and therefore the population (not the caste) knows that they will have to tighten their belts even more with the “deep chainsaw” that Sturzenegger announcedthe other “colossus”. Beyond blaming previous governments, as previously stated, the cost began to arrive.
To make matters worse, Milei’s speech at the UN, against the Future Pactleft investors recalculating. Business executives mentioned it: the 2030 Agenda is a guide for the Western world that looks, supposedly, at Freedom Advances. Even on Wednesday morning, doubts were already being raised about the future of about 70 projects with financing from United Nations Development Program (UNDP) which depends on the UN, with contributions from companies and governments. Just as at the local level Francos comes out to clarify Milei’s mistakes, that role will fall to Diana Mondino in the international arena.
The Congress front is also uncertain for LLA. In the veto of the retirement reform, the ruling party managed to gather a third of the will in both chambers to dynamite the increase for retirees. Now, that club does not seem solid to support the other veto, that of the university financing law. The UCR came out strong to avoid leaks in its blocks and Mauricio Macri’s PRO remains silent. Young voters, a priori from Milei, who are affected. The federal march has power, capable of hurting the Government due to its magnitude.
Both the PRO and the UCR began to mark the field for him. A logical push towards 2025. Macri maintains his thesis. Start to see how it comes to fruition. He foresees that Milei will arrive weakened next yearand that then the yellow leaders will not go along with him. In LLA they believe, however, that the merger will take place de facto, that Macri will end up being diluted in the violet tide.
Likewise, the governors are beginning to detach themselves. Some of them left the block in the Senate called United Provinces, created this week to have direct ties with LLA. Salteños, Tucumans, Catamarqueños, preferred to keep one foot on the opponent’s plate. Who knows if Peronism, still enveloped in chaos, is not the ideal refuge.
Others objected to the project Single Paper Ballot (BUP) and they insist on the need to eliminate the “complete list” box. An order that arrives, for example, from Neuquén and Río Negro.
Milei’s anger yesterday on the Parque Lezama stage, it seems, has its reasons.
