Growing pains or chronicle of an announced problem? The proposal formulated by the political analyst Sergio Berensstein has a clear reference: La Libertad Avanza has become involved in an internal struggle for spaces of power, a situation that puts the still blurred opposition to the president on guard. Javier Miley.
Faced with unionism, negotiating with the governors for the Base Law and making adjustments so that, in the shortest possible time, the economy gets back on track, the head of state now needs a political force, with defined characteristics. But that is also a traumatic process and one that, in recent days, has been observed in the formation of the Impeachment Commission, which has cost it to uncover a new inmate and a bleeding of leaders. In this framework, Berensztein tells LA GACETA, the rearrangements and breaks are natural expressions of a coalition that emerged “tied with wires as an electoral instrument.” “It is clear that Milei needs something more than that to be more competitive by 2025,” says the consultant. The political scientist considers that greater libertarian political strength will imply externalizing an image of solid power, even more so when he is negotiating with the opposition, particularly with the governors. “La Libertad Avanza is forced to rely more on the bench than on points because, if the internal elections continue, those governors will feel that they have a higher share of power and will charge more dearly for any point of the May Pact,” he emphasizes.
According to the director of CB Public Opinion Consulting, Cristian
Buttiethe internal affairs of the national ruling party reveal some of Milei’s own issues:
• The definition of political issues is typical of a space that was just born: a verticalism that is reduced to a small decision-making table of which the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, is a part and, therefore, benefits. in the power struggle in the Lower House.
• The spaces that joined La Libertad Avanza are observing this form of absolute top-down leadership and, in that aspect, they consider that pre-existing agreements are not valid.
• The internal elections will impact the legislative gymnastics, but Milei anticipated that what Congress defines is of little interest to him. “He considers it a plus to expose deputies and senators with the idea that they put a spanner in the works, appealing to the fact that Congress has a bad image in society.
“Milei today is not worried about the risk of losing deputies because, as he believes, everything will fall into place. And she believes that in 2025 it will become clear how the political ideology of society is composed,” indicates the man from Córdoba. Buttié, in that regard, adds that “everything can mutate towards a new force where Milei continues to be the protagonist and everyone will get on her ship.”
Another political analyst, Aníbal Urios, points out that internal disputes, elbowing and betrayals are typical of a new political order. And, like Buttié, the director of DC Consultores, believes that there are leaders willing to take the leap and get on the libertarian train. “This is natural because everyone believed that Milei was going to falter and the opposite is happening. And it will be consolidated as things become more comfortable,” he maintains. Likewise, he believes that the 2025 legislative elections will be a turning point for the current president. “Those who get on the cars when the train is empty are going to have a little more success. Traditional policy tells you that everyone will accompany you to the cemetery gate, but no one wants to enter. So there are those who see in Milei a platform to sustain themselves politically,” he concludes.
