The internal life of the PRO is not calm and the arrival of the former president of the Nation Mauricio Macri The party’s leadership has not served, at least until now, to reduce the confrontations between the main figures, in relation to their rapprochement and support for the government management that he heads. Javier Miley with Freedom Advances (LLA).
After the Minister of National Security last Tuesday, Patricia Bullrichstated that the libertarian space absorbed the PRO from the call of different referents and the good reception by the voters, the president of the PRO Assembly, Martin Cameresponded to these statements and stressed that the party is working to become competitive again and an alternative government in 2027.

“What was voted on was a merger in which we decided that we are not going to dissolve. One hears the affectionate words that Milei says regarding the PRO and then Bullrich says that we are lukewarm, despite the fact that we lead the public conversation regarding the Ley Bases,” said Yeza. He added: “Talking about a merger is another thing, because then something that existed based on something new would cease to exist. That is to say that the PRO would dissolve, as would LLA and something new would be generated. That is why, in general, we talk about coalitions or alliances, as was the case with Juntos por el Cambio (JxC).”
“They do not see her”
In dialogue with LA GACETA the former national senator for Tucumán and representative of the party at the national level Paul Walter He supported the statements of the former presidential candidate and stressed that the “absorption” of the PRO by the national government “is a reality.” “Society and our electorate, who supported the government in the runoff and who continue to support it, according to all public opinion studies, care little about the party seal but whether they are in favor of the government and want it to do well or are against it. It is natural that society has that thought and is far from political parties and even more so from the internal affairs of political parties,” he emphasized.
Patricia Bullrich ruled out “complicity of political power” in the Loan case
The former provincial party intervenor also regretted that the “ego and pettiness” of a group of leaders generate these tensions and lack of respect for the person who represented the party as a presidential candidate in last year’s elections. “Despite what some people may think, who evidently confuse what it means to be loyal with being obsequious to the leaders, Bullrich is today the PRO political leader with the best public image in the country. But I am not the one saying it, all the public opinion studies say it, which place her alongside the President and the Vice President, Victoria Villarruel“, the leader said. And he declared: “Clearly, as Milei likes to say, some people do not see it. And perhaps they are blinded by trying to find a position in the administration that they cannot get or by seeking a position to try to negotiate places on the lists for next year, instead of being consistent with the position of unconditional support for the government, taken last year.”
Regarding the situation facing the yellow party, Walter said that in view of next year, when the Legislative Power will be reconfigured starting with the mid-term elections, it would be inconceivable for the PRO to compete in a front other than LLA and stressed that if the PRO leadership does so in any district, it would commit political suicide.
“La Libertad Avanza has already absorbed the PRO,” said Patricia Bullrich
“If this happens, it will end up being useful to the political sectors that we have supposedly fought for many years. Not going with the LLA would mean, in any province, losing legislative seats and in the future losing the opportunity to win governorships and mayoralties.”
“It may seem that there is a majority sector of the party supporting a position because it has a greater number of leaders, but what matters here is not what a group of leaders think, but what the people and our voters think. Just like what happened last year in the PASO, where the superstructure of the PRO, the radicalism, the Civic Coalition and the coffers of the government of the city of Buenos Aires were on the same side, Patricia, with the support of the people, beat them and beat them by a landslide. What matters here is what the people think,” she added.
“Lower decibels”
The Tucuman representative of the PRO Alberto Colombres Garmendia He criticized Bullrich’s statements. “The ideal would be to lower the decibels of these internal disputes a little. I do not agree with Bullrich’s statements, I think they were wrong and inappropriate. In this sense, I feel more identified with Macri’s position because I have no doubt that the PRO has to accompany and support this government, but being the PRO, maintaining its essence, because beyond the coincidences with Milei’s administration, it is not unconditional support,” he said to LA GACETA.
Regarding the positions adopted by the different spaces of the party in this scenario, the local representative specified that it is important to emphasize that no other political force supported the national Government as the PRO did and that this good harmony “happened naturally because there is a communion of ideology in many aspects.” “Now, that does not mean, and in this we must be clear, that the PRO should not maintain its independence, its individuality and state its position when there are issues on which there is no coincidence,” he stressed.
Colombres Garmendia said that the position adopted by Bullrich is understandable because she heads a key Ministry and in light of this she has to support in a very different way than the rest of the party, which must focus, basically, on protecting the interests of the group. “The PRO is not part of the Government. There will be officials who are affiliated with the PRO, but we are not part of the administration, although we continue to support this Government without pettiness and without asking for anything in return. We have lost; the LLA has won and from there we have to rebuild the PRO to be a Government option in 2027,” he concluded.
The Macri-Bullrich split, with impact on the local PRO
In the province: waiting for an electoral calendar
The PRO in Tucumán is still unable to get its institutional life back on track. The recent appointment of Alejandro Finocchiaro as intervenor generated expectations among the local leadership, but for the moment there is no news and it is expected that the national authorities of the party will soon define a calendar that will make it possible to elect authorities in the jurisdiction.
