Jaime Durán Barba assured that the PRO “died” when Mauricio Macri “gave the space for change to the libertarians”

In that sense, Durán Barba expressed in radio statements: “For a long time, Milei, consolidated, does not need the PRO. He will simply look for one-man leadership, it is normal. In a solar system there are usually not two suns. “Both Milei and Mauricio are people with very strong temperaments and one of them was going to prevail and make the other submit, if not, there would be no unity.”

“Milei has had remarkable success,” the former advisor added, while noting: “I think that the PRO already lost ground during the campaign because it approached without personality, without seeking its own space.. From the first lap Mauricio was already winking at Milei and people doubted whether he was with Patricia Bullrich or Milei. And that closeness with a leader as dynamic and as disruptive as Milei was going to lead to this

“Now Milei does not need the PRO and, if there are elections, the triumph at this moment of the libertarians would be overwhelming”he insisted in dialogue with Urbana Play.

Jaime Durán Barba: “Patricia Bullrich should be directly a candidate for head of government rather than a legislative candidate”

In another order of things, the Ecuadorian reflected on the possible candidacy of the Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich for the Head of Government of Buenos Aires. “He managed to do something that caught our attention, which is to free the streets of Buenos Aires from the picketers.which was a very old demand but that people saw as impossible to fulfill, that gives her spectacular capital and she must be thinking about that.”

“I think that instead of running in the legislative elections, it is better for her to continue in a ministry in which she has accumulated an advantage and be a direct candidate for head of Government.. The Government of the City of Buenos Aires is something spectacular for any politician, it is a wonderful city, it has a gigantic budget, it has autonomy,” he added.

On the other hand, regarding a hypothetical candidacy for vice president, “would have problems: Patricia has a pretty special temperament too and vice presidents by definition are a problem.” “Dr. Velasco Ibarra, five times president of Ecuador, stated that ‘vice presidents are paid conspirators,'” he quoted below.

Jaime Durán Barba on Mauricio Macri: “His mistake “is not realizing that he won the presidential elections by 1%.”

Returning to Mauricio Macri, Durán Barba explained that “the mistake” of the former president “is not realizing that he won the presidential elections by 1%and that more than half of the people who voted for him are progressive.”

“I am not a far-right person nor do I believe in capitalist anarchism, and neither does Macri. It seems funny to me when they say that he and Milei are the same because I don’t see any anarchist legs in either Macri or María Eugenia Vidal or their group.. “They are not anarchists, they are people who formed a group that was center-right or center-right in which quite a few people who are in no way extreme-right collaborate,” he noted.

“Yes, I assume my part if he believes that I have been one of the authors of that mistake, of always trying to ensure that the government is centrist, that it cares about the poor, that it is not a disruptive government. What happens is that Macri, when he gave the space for change to the libertarians, died“, he stated.

In that sense, he delved into that position and detailed: “It was a brutal strategic mistake, at this stage he had everything to win when he was left with 41% against a president who was a disasterone of the most catastrophic in the history of Argentina. “He had the table set to go forward, but as long as he had that same line that allowed him to win every election since 2005 for 15 years, but he abandoned that position.”

Finally, the former advisor concluded: “I hope Milei, with all his successes, respects something that at times seems to have crossed his mind, which is freedom of the press. Without freedom of the press there is no country nor is there liberalism, because if you defend liberal theses you should respect the press.”
