Bullrich distances himself from Macri and cools the alliance with the Government

The Minister of Security and current president of the PRO, Patricia Bullrichdistanced himself from the former president Mauricio Macri , generating uncertainty about the future of the alliance between the PRO and La Libertad Avanza.

Bullrich expressed that “change must be supported without speculation,” while the negotiations to make the alliance between both forces official are at an impasse, waiting to resolve internal differences.

“I don’t want to do an interview talking about Macri, I’m a minister, I’m involved in other things, I’m not interested in doing an interview being Macri’s psychologist. Talk to Macri,” Bullrich said in statements to Radio La Red.

Bullrich’s previous announcement about an alleged “political redesign” between the yellow party and the libertarians was followed by comments from Javier Miley, who suggested that this alliance will be a “convergence” that will occur “over time.” However, PRO leaders ruled out the possibility of a merger.

Bullrich, when asked about Macri, indicated that she does not want to “speak for Macri” and that she is focused on her role as minister. She assured that she “does not know Macri’s political plans” and stressed the need to support the change without speculation.

The relationship between Bullrich and Macri became distant at a crucial moment in the negotiations between the PRO and LLA for a new alliance. Bullrich, who generated tensions by joining as an official in the Milei Government, stated that she represents a majority part of the PRO by winning the PASO elections against Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.

On the other hand, Milei once again supported the alliance between both parties, but framed it as a “convergence” that will occur “over time”, highlighting the “ideological reordering” arising from the treatment of the ‘Bases’ law in the Chamber of Deputies. .

Despite rumors about a possible meeting between Macri and Milei, the president confirmed having “an excellent relationship” with the former president and highlighted the affinity between both political spaces.

However, leaders like Soledad Acuñaformer Minister of Education of Buenos Aires, pointed out the importance of prioritizing ideas over people and highlighted the need for an internal debate in the PRO about its future strategy.

In the midst of this scenario, Cristian Ritondohead of the PRO block in the Chamber of Deputies, ruled out a merger with the libertarians and highlighted the “party identity” of the PRO.
