bleached it Patricia Bullrich and analyzes it in the narrowest environment of Javier Miley from Rome, Italy. “A new political redesign is coming, what is coming is a coalition between the PRO y Freedom Advances“were the words chosen by the Minister of Security. The alliance between the right-wing forces could be realized through positions in the national government and/or the formation of an interbloc in Congress. What is not yet so clear is what calculation the different internal lines of the PRO do. Although Mauricio Macri aspires to intervene in Milei’s government, until now he has not expressed himself in favor of an alliance between both parties. It is less certain that all sectors of the yellow group will agree with a coalition where they would be the tailgate.
At the end of the worst week of the new government, after a resounding defeat of his Omnibus Law in the Chamber of Deputies, which revealed the weakness of their support, the confluence of the PRO and LLA began to take shape as a way to show some solidity and projection from the ruling party.
The person in charge of making it public was Bullrich: “The idea is what has to govern and not the political structures. We are walking together,” said the minister. Shortly afterward she maintained that she did not want to “rush” said coalition because “it is still an issue to be debated.” “I am pushing for that side, without a doubt, so that the idea is not frustrated again in Argentina, that the change is not frustrated again. We cannot afford to have the change frustrated again by the interests that block this change,” explained the former president of the PRO.
The incorporation of Bullrich into the national government was a personal agreement between the former presidential candidate and Milei, not the result of a party negotiation. The agreement included the incorporation into the cabinet, as head of Defense, of Luis Petri, the radical who accompanied the minister in her frustrated presidential candidacy. The pact was so personal that it earned Bullrich discomfort and alienation from Macri, who then preferred to provide remote support to the Government and, in any case, wait for them to come looking for him when things got complicated. In just two months, the scenario changed.
The coalition between both forces could be expressed through the incorporation of other names of the PRO in the front line of officials. In some way, Bullrich herself also implied it: she said that there are still “many appointments missing” in the national government and assured that it is necessary to “advance territorially on spaces that are dominated by people who try to destroy the government from within.” . The names of Diego Santilli and of Maria Eugenia Vidal were some of those who were mentioned as possible ministers or officials. Until now, the former governor denied her interest in joining the Milei administration.
Asked about the statements of Bullrich, the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adornisimply responded: “The President chooses those he considers best for each position.”
The other territory where the PRO-LLA pact could manifest is the Congress: a step towards the coalition would be the formation of an interblock between both benches. In Deputies, this would allow them to position themselves as the second minority, with 75 legislators, if there is no yellow defection. However, it would have a more symbolic than material effect on the parliamentary dynamics because, strictly speaking, the PRO has already been giving unqualified support to the ruling party.
“I totally agree (with Bullrich), the idea has to govern,” said the national senator Francisco Paolotroni (LLA). The legislator from Formosa noted that this new alliance will be part of “things that are going to be decided” and took the opportunity to attack the sectors of the dialogue opposition that dared to vote negatively on some points of the Omnibus Law. In particular, he targeted the UCR: “Within the radicals, many people are more represented by Myriam Bregman’s space,” he said.
Right from the radicalism -until very recently allied with the PRO in Together for Change- came the first criticism of the confluence of yellows and “libertarians.” The head of the UCR, Martin Lousteau, downplayed the importance of the new coalition because, he said, “that already exists, milleimacrism or macrimileism… It is clear when you see the Minister of Security or the Minister of Economy (Luis Caputo) and other officials who were in the government of Macri”. For the senator, “the PRO is supporting anything to be inside the Government now or later. It is seen that the PRO’s desire is to be part of the next stage of Cabinet replacement – he shot -. There are some who want to be in power , regardless of who has the power.
