Macri-Milei: Negotiations move forward with distrust district by district
The article discusses ongoing negotiations between Argentina's political parties, specifically focusing on the relationship between La Libertad Avanza (LLA), led by Javier Milei, and the PRO party, associated with former President Mauricio Macri. The talks, facilitated by Diego Santilli, the head of cabinet, took place at the Casa Rosada and involved key figures such as 'Lule' and Martín Menem, representing LLA, and representatives from the PRO. While there was initial optimism and positive communication, underlying mutual distrust persists. The article highlights concerns within both parties regarding future cooperation, particularly around the potential elimination of the Primarias Abiertas Simultaneas y Obligatorias (PASO). Macri expresses skepticism towards Milei and his allies, while LLA seeks a broader national agreement to ensure continuity of their policies. The article notes that some provincial leaders support removing PASO but remain uncertain about their commitment, creating uncertainty in the political landscape.
The Argentine government has entered a critical phase of realigning its relationships and alliances with provincial governors, a process deemed essential as it looks ahead to the second half of the year and the eventual entry into the electoral race. With Chief Cabinet Minister Diego Santilli and Economy Minister Luis "Toto" Caputo serving as primary negotiators, Vice President Karina Milei aims to secure consensus both within Congress, providing market predictability, and in agreements outlining the rules of engagement for the 2027 elections. The administration assumes that existing alliances will continue in provinces such as Entre Ríos with Rogelio Frigerio, Mendoza with Alfredo Cornejo, who is not seeking re-election, and Chaco with Leandro Zdero, who appears poised for a second term. This strategy does not sit well with more authoritarian figures within the political landscape. The exercise of professional and critical journalism is a cornerstone of democracy, yet it is often viewed as a threat by those who believe they possess the ultimate truth. The initial group of governors includes those who must align in forming a coalition next year and provide legislative support. Among them, Cornejo holds the greatest influence in Congress, thus wielding greater negotiation power. His senators have shown dissent in certain areas following their deputies' support for the partial approval of legislation. Jorge Macri, the Buenos Aires mayor, seeks to build on his positive rapport with Javier Milei to form an alliance rather than split the non-Peronist vote. However, doubts remain, and the Milei faction continues to exert pressure within the yellow stronghold. Recently, Karina, alongside Santilli and Buenos Aires deputy leader Pilar Ramirez, visited the Chinese neighborhood, signaling another act of defiance. A third group of Peronist governors, previously allies, is beginning to show signs of divergence. Gustavo Sáenz, the Salta governor, exhibits differences in the Chamber of Deputies, though his Senate representative, Flavia Royón, now leads a key committee on Mining and Energy. She has shown openness toward Human Capital Minister Sandra Pettovello, who publicly defended him, despite maintaining strong tensions with libertarian senator Emilia Orozco, a potential candidate. Osvaldo Jaldo was the first to announce he would split the elections. Tucumán will hold its gubernatorial election on May 9, with Lisandro Catalán emerging as a possible contender. Misiones presents another case where libertarians need to reassess their ties. Hugo Passalacqua broke with Carlos Rovira, the historical leader of the Concordia Front, who had established links with the presidential office. Passalacqua is ready to leverage his congressional votes to gain benefits for his province. Raúl Jalil, the Catamarca governor, will not join a libertarian coalition. He is likely to run for senator while negotiating legislative support with the presidential office. Another set of provinces includes San Juan and Chubut, led by Marcelo Orrego and Ignacio Torres respectively, where reaching an electoral agreement beyond congressional support seems distant. Similar dynamics apply to Córdoba and Santa Fe, whose governors were recently received by Santilli. The chief cabinet minister heard complaints regarding energy provision for companies, infrastructure projects, funds, and compensation for distributors without debts to Cammesa. Another group consists of Rolando Figueroa of Neuquén, Carlos Sadir of Jujuy, and Claudio Vidal, all of whom maintain good relations with the presidential office but anticipate electoral competition in their regions and are negotiating support on a law-by-law basis in Congress. On the opposing side, as has been the case since the start of the libertarian government, stand Axel Kicillof, Gildo Insfrán, Gustavo Mellela, Ricardo Quintela, and Sergio Ziliotto, possibly the governor with the best rapport with the official administration among hardline opponents.
The article discusses the Argentine government's efforts to renegotiate alliances with provincial governors ahead of the 2027 election. President Javier Milei's administration, led by Chief of Cabinet Diego Santilli and Economy Minister Luis 'Toto' Caputo, is seeking consensus to secure legislative support and economic stability. Key allies include Governor Rogelio Frigerio of Entre Ríos, Alfredo Cornejo of Mendoza (who is not seeking re-election), and Leandro Zdero of Santa Fe, who is likely to run again. However, tensions are emerging among some governors, including Gustavo Sáenz of Salta and Osvaldo Jaldo of Tucumán, who are considering breaking away from the ruling coalition. The article highlights the strategic importance of these negotiations for shaping the political landscape leading up to the next election.
