The relationship between PRO and La Libertad Avanza (LLA) in the City of Buenos Aires has been marked by tensions and disagreements, and recently there has been a new gesture that has further intensified these differences. The libertarian legislator Pilar Ramírez, close to Karina Milei, publicly questioned an announcement by the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Jorge Macri, which has generated a climate of confrontation between both political sectors.
The conflict between PRO and La Libertad Avanza (LLA) originated from a message on social networks by Jorge Macri, in which he presented the new Women’s Urban Order Corps of the City Police.
In his publication, Macri highlighted that, thanks to the political decision, it had been possible to end the pickets and total cuts in the city, stating that these were no longer an everyday problem. However, Ramírez did not miss the opportunity to respond and attributed the merit of this improvement to the political decision of Javier Milei and his government.
“After years of chaos and pickets, the City was free again thanks to the political decision of Javier Milei and the Government,” said Ramírez. In addition to questioning Macri’s announcement, Ramírez criticized the creation of more structures and the spending on a police force to intervene in marches with minors, calling it absurd.
“Children have to be in school, not in the streets,” he said. This is not the first confrontation between Ramírez and Jorge Macri’s administration. A month ago, the legislator presented a draft Base Law that included measures to reduce public spending, such as privatizations and reforms in the charging of health services for non-residents, which caused unrest in the PRO.
The tension between both sectors is not limited to these episodes. The relationship between President Javier Milei and former President Mauricio Macri has also shown signs of cooling. Although they maintain institutional respect, Macri’s recent criticism of Milei’s leadership and certain disagreements in voting have generated mutual distrust.
Agreements
A statement from PRO criticizing government decisions at the UN, for example, was not well received by libertarians. In the legislative field, the situation is equally complex. La Libertad Avanza has managed to expand in the Buenos Aires Chamber of Deputies, equaling the PRO in number of members and becoming the second minority.
This growth has been driven by political agreements and the incorporation of new legislators, which has strengthened LLA’s position in the province of Buenos Aires. The possibility of an electoral agreement between the PRO and Freedom Advances in the City of Buenos Aires seems far away.
