The dispute over the Buenos Aires succession of 2027 opened a new distance between La Libertad Avanza and PRO. Legislator Pilar Ramírez, president of the libertarian party in the City and leader close to Karina Milei, stated that there is still no definition of an electoral alliance. He also left open the possibility of competing with an exclusively libertarian proposal in the district governed by Macrismo for almost two decades. This alternative would turn former electoral partners into direct rivals for the local Executive.
Ramírez took the uncertainty beyond the assembly of lists. Asked about an understanding with the head of Government, Jorge Macri, she responded that it is not even resolved if both spaces will share the same project for the City. The statement contrasts with the position of Macri, who had conditioned the Buenos Aires strategy to the decisions that the PRO and LLA adopt in their national negotiation.
The conflict also moved to the authorship of the public agenda. The legislator accused the Buenos Aires Executive of presenting as its own initiatives that, in her reading, were previously promoted by the government of Javier Milei. He mentioned the so-called Ley Hojarasca of administrative deregulation, the changes in Verificación Técnica Vehicular and the toughening of sanctions against car-sitters known as rags.
For the Buenos Aires libertarian leadership, these movements do not express a doctrinal conversion of PRO, but rather a reaction to competition for the same electorate. Ramírez described the conduct of the City government as an overreaction of the ideas of freedom and linked it to an electoral calculation. At the same time, it formulated an explicit territorial objective: that Buenos Aires become governed by La Libertad Avanza.
In this assembly, the legislator highlighted Patricia Bullrich, whom she defined as a weighty leader and a relevant political figure. The recognition shows the place that the national official retains in the libertarian construction of the Capital, after her tour of PRO. It also reinforces competition for cadres, voters and symbols that were previously organized almost exclusively around Macriism.
The discussion remains open at two levels that must be resolved before 2027. LLA will have to decide whether to negotiate a coalition or present its own brand, while PRO will have to define how much of the libertarian agenda it incorporates without losing identity to its voters. Until now there is no agreement or common project confirmed; The concrete thing is that Ramírez turned that lack of definition into a public warning to Jorge Macri.
