After the hard electoral defeat suffered in May in the city of Buenos Aires, the PRO It crosses a stage of political reconfiguration that finds it in the middle of Buenos Aires campaign, now in alliance with Freedom Avanza (lla). The agreement between both spaces, sealed in August, seeks to consolidate a strategy of governance and national representation, although without diluting party identities.
In this context, the Buenos Aires ruling tries to recover the initiative, capitalize on the learning of the electoral setback and prevent their candidates from “painting violet”, the flagship color of the libertarian party. The pact between the PRO And Lla was promoted by Mauricio Macri and Karina Milei, with the aim of guaranteeing a joint representation in the National Congress.
In the city, however, the agreement is lived with nuances. The head of the Buenos Aires government, Jorge Macri, accepted the alliance but decided to stay out of the electoral campaign, prioritizing his management and avoiding direct exposure with the libertarians.
From the headquarters of PRO On Balcarce Street, leaders recognize that there were no explicit demands by Lla so that macrista candidates adopt the violet color or join the proselytizing acts. “They did not ask us to resign the identity, much less. But we understand that it is a time not to exacerbate the differences,” said one of the negotiators of the agreement.
The internal slogan is clear: maintain yellow belonging, but without confronting with the libertarian allies. “It is more a time to say why we are going together. And there what we are raising is that the discussion at this time is much larger than a party identity,” added another leader of the PRO.
May’s Buenos Aires election left the PRO in a weakened position. Of the 12 benches he occupied in the legislature, he lost five and was left with only seven legislators. The emergence of internal groups such as Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and the separation of referents linked to Patricia Bullrich further fragmenting space.

The defeat forced Jorge Macri to review his strategy. He changed his political table, incorporated the Radical Operator Daniel Angelici and began to delineate an ambitious public works plan to relaunch his management in October, with his eyes in 2027. Although uncomfortable with the agreement with LLA, the head of government decided not to confront and focus on consolidating his administration.
In the lists for national deputies for the city, the PRO He managed to locate Fernando de Andreis and Antonella Giampieri in the fifth and sixth positions, respectively. Although they do not lead the payroll, they are the only macrista representatives with real chances of accessing a bank.
