$ Libra scandal puts in “stand by” the possible electoral alliance between the PRO and Lla in Buenos Aires

The possible electoral agreement between La Libertad advances (lla) and the pro In the province of Buenos Aires he paused after the scandal that involves President Javier Milei for the promotion of $ Libra. The cryptocurrency, which reached a price peak before collapsing on Saturday morning, generated millionaire losses and He revived tensions within the ruling and its potential allies.

However, None of the sectors of the party led by Mauricio Macri closed the possibility of an alliance. The central concern remains the risk that Peronism will be imposed on this year’s legislative elections if yellow and violets do not achieve a competitive front.

However, the crypto scandal was a containment dike for the PRO. Karina Milei’s strategy and Sebastián Pareja, a reference for Lla in the district, to empty the Macri party promoting the jump of mayors to the forces of the sky is now in “Stand by”, as they mentioned to this medium. Cases such as Diego Valenzuela, municipal chief of Tres de February, stopped at the risk involved in the play. “It advanced, but when the Noria bridge was about to cross … it stopped. I think it will be given, but it is in pause,” a leader who negotiates with the mayors told the scope.

In the Pro Buenos Aires, the discussion about a possible alliance with Lla generates divisions. Three postures dominate the debate: on the one hand, there are the further Agreedthe sector led by figures such as the mayor of Mar del Plata, Guillermo Montenegro; the former head of Buenos Aires Cabinet, Néstor Grindetti; and the national deputy Diego Santilli. That group maintains that any agreement is positive to face Peronism in Buenos Aires. Under the logic that “a bad agreement remains a good agreement”, they promote a rapid approach with the ruling party.

On the other hand, there are those leaders who propose a Progressive Alliance: this group, in which deputies are like Cristian Ritondo and Silvia Lospenatoconsiders that the link with Lla must be built with time. They propose to evaluate the relationship with the government based on the events and interests of the PRO in the medium term. They are prone to converge with the libertarians and argue that an alternative to Kircherism must arise between both parties, but will first see how the Critpo scandal is triggered.

Finally, there is a third space formed by the former President Mauricio Macri; the head of the Buenos Aires government, Jorge Macri; Vicente López’s mayor, Soledad Martínez; and the mayor of Junín, Pablo Petreccawhich was emboldened after the $ Libra scandal and considers that it is time to strengthen the PRO, sustain its identity and, in any case, evaluate possible alliances later and in better conditions. For a long time, pure macrismo distrusts Milei’s will to close a real agreement.

“The theme $ Libra will not modify the intention of the pro to sit at a table to negotiate and seal an agreement with LLA,” admit yellow. However, they recognize that Macri also evaluates other alternatives, such as an alliance with the UCR and non -Kirchnerist Peronism, if an electoral front is not achieved with Milei’s party to face Axel Kicillof in the largest electoral district in the country.

While the pro debate its strategy, in the position it is clear: Karina MileiGeneral Secretary of the Presidency and main political articulator of the ruling party, argues that the party must compete with its own lists in the province of Buenos Aires without depending on the PRO.

Sebastián Parejareferent of lla in the district, works in that regard. For months, advanced in the construction of local structures in the 135 municipalities with the aim of reducing the need for agreements with other spaces. “They are welcome qUienes share the ideas of freedombut we do not seek alliances with other forces, “they insist from the ruling party. In addition, they note that the lists must be integrated exclusively by” loyal leaders to the president. “

Although in the PRO they coincide with the need for an agreement for 2025, the differences on how to reach it continue to mark distance with lla. While the ruling advances in its Buenos Aires armed without thinking for now in external partners, macrismo faces the dilemma of yielding to Milei or exploring alternatives with other forces. With the electoral calendar advancing and uncertainty about the political impact of the crypto scandal, the relationship between Lla and the PRO in Buenos Aires remains a clear questionless question.
