The closure of lists for the legislative elections of October 26 showed a figure that is consolidated as the great strategist of the ruling party: Karina MileiGeneral Secretary of the Presidency and sister of President Javier Milei.
Its role was decisive in the definition of candidacies, in the consolidation of violet color as a party emblem and in the marginalization of internal and allied sectors that aspired to greater prominence. In this new political board, Karina Milei It emerges as the undisputed boss of the electoral assembly of freedom advances (lla).
Karina Milei managed to impose her vision in the 24 districts of the country, ensuring that each ballot carries the pure libertarian seal. His goal was not only to compete in the legislative elections, but to position candidates with a view to the governorates in 2027, such as Patricia Bullrich in CABA and Luis Petri in Mendoza.
This long -term strategy reveals meticulous planning and a willingness to consolidate the territorial power of Lla beyond the presidential cycle. The officialization of the lists exposed their iron control over the party, even relegating figures close to the president as the advisor Santiago Caputo, who had to settle for his role as a campaign strategist.
His group, known as the forces of heaven, was again marginalized of the candidacies, barely giving a applicant to the Buenos Aires Lower House and four councils. The libertarian youth group that was once considered the ideological seedbed of mileism, the forces of heaven, were practically out of the main assembly.
His account in X (former Twitter) has not published for weeks, and referents like Agustín Romo and Gordo give barely manifested in networks to criticize Guillermo Moreno for his frustrated candidacy.
Alliances
This displacement marks a change of cycle within Lla, where the logic of youth militancy yields to a more vertical structure, professionalized and controlled by the hard core of Karina MileiMartín Menem, “Lule” Menem, Sebastián Pareja and Santiago Viola.
Karina’s strategy also involved relegating the members of the PRO and the UCR, even in districts where alliances had been sealed. In the city of Buenos Aires, the PRO was stripped of the possibility of placing a candidate for the Senate and only obtained the fifth and sixth place in the list of deputies. In Mendoza, the radical governor Alfredo Cornejo managed to locate the second on the list, Pamela Verasay, but third place went to Álvaro Martínez, linked to Omar de Marchi.
