Officials and legislators from La Libertad Avanza and PRO held a forum in the Buenos Aires City legislature that turned abortion, comprehensive sex education, birth rates and family policy into common political ground. The event brought both forces together as their broader relationship grows closer.

Deputy mayor Clara Muzzio led the main interventions. She reiterated her opposition to voluntary abortion and challenged the way sex education is applied in schools, emphasizing that content reaches children from preschool. She connected both issues to the decline in births.

Muzzio linked part of that demographic shift to cultural change and new family structures. She noted that dogs now outnumber children under ten in the city. The comparison moved the discussion from a specific school policy to a broader diagnosis of social priorities.

Gabriela Michetti returned to a public event to support the forum. The former vice president said the agenda aimed to defend human survival and claimed she had been “cancelled” after opposing abortion legalization. Her presence gave the meeting a nationally recognized PRO figure.

Human Development and Habitat Minister Gabriel Mraida focused on strengthening family ties. Senator Carmen Álvarez Rivero and national deputies Santiago Santurio and Joaquín Ojeda also attended, alongside officials and legislators from other districts, extending the event beyond city politics.

The forum produced no specific bill, but it displayed a shared language among libertarian and PRO leaders on abortion, education and family. Its immediate consequence is political: those points may enter negotiations between the parties. The next test is whether they reappear in bills, campaigns or parliamentary agreements.
