Mauricio Macri He was the founder of the Pro Party and one of the main opposition figures to Peronism in Argentina. He managed to take over the presidency of a nation that was considered one of the worst administrations ever recorded.
Mauricio Macri He has not left his political life aside, despite mentioning that he would not run for president again, since it is said that in the shadows he manipulates the strings of his party and the officials who depend exclusively on his party, despite the fact that he has differentiated himself from Patricia Bullrich.
The scandal in the game It began when the former president encouraged Pro senators to vote in favor of the new retirement mobility law. This was done to clear the playing field for Milei, but then he said that he would support the veto, leaving his supporters offside.
The aim of the manoeuvre is said to have been to gain weight in both chambers, but also with society. This may have little to do with the fact that pensioners have seen their purchasing power severely affected by the continuous increases that have been experienced for more than 8 months.
It is said that the former president He would have called his senators one by one to ask them to vote in favor of the new formula. This is why the Pro Party sent a statement stating that they would not be pressured by anyone and that they would have free rein to act so as not to damage the current economic plans.
“We voted for what we consider correct to improve the lives of retirees without putting the economic program at risk”
The determinations as a whole have weakened the power of influence of Macriwho would have seen what the senators have decided as a blatant betrayal. In this way, not only is freedom advancing fragmented, but also the Pro, which is headless in its leadership and all eyes are on Patricia Bullrich.
The consequences
The country is going through a moment of strong political upheaval, since Javier Milei no longer has the social support of a large part of society. Added to this situation is the fact that one of the main opposition parties, the Pro, has distanced itself from Mauricio Macri for an unusual request.
Thus, while Peronism is restructuring itself, the direction of the country is increasingly uncertain and the government is having more and more problems in shaping a model that, in theory, could be successful, but which on paper has seen a negative impact on the pockets of those who have the least, but has swelled the pockets of the wealthiest.
