On December 10, when Congress opens its doors for the swearing-in, deputies and senators who come from outside the traditional circuit of politics and under the banner of Javier Milei will take office. They do not come from party structures or bureaucratic careers. They are profiles with no history in public service: a streamer who went viral with a thermos tied to his face, a former TV model, a former tennis player who faced Federer, a star from Corrientes and a winemaker from San Juan, among others. Nearly 60% of the 38 deputies and 7 senators of La Libertad Avanza come from fields such as SMEs, social networks, health, sports and wine, with a common premise: less State, more freedom.
In the Buenos Aires suburbs, where LLA obtained 18 seats, the most visible is Sergio “Tronco” Figliuolo: shareholder in the Fantino channel, he became a meme defending the Government with nylon and a thermos. He is accompanied by Karen Reichardt, who left the catwalks and the leadership of Amores Perros to denounce privileges from the venue. The doctor Andrea Vera completes the trio: “I don’t come to manage health, I come to cure it of statism,” she maintains.
In Capital, Andrés Leone—Milei’s close friend since high school—will share a block with Agustín Monteverde, an economist and former frigate captain who went from think tanks to Defense commissions. Córdoba adds new names: Laura Soldano combines gym routines with free market speeches on TikTok, while Enrique Lluch, owner of a spare parts company, prioritizes management and numbers over media exposure.
The interior provides unexpected profiles. Diego Hartfield, a missionary who won a set against Federer in 2005, today runs a biotech on Wall Street and will swear by Zoom from Miami. Abel Chiconi, winemaker at a family winery in San Juan, will transfer his winemaking experience to the debate over withholdings. Virginia Gallardo, a star who met Milei in Controversy at the Bar, finished her Economics degree in three intensive years. In Neuquén, the singer Gabriela Muñoz goes from ANSES to Congress; In Tucumán, Army officer Federico Pelli exchanges sugar security for national security. Also arriving are Natalia Chemor, a Rio Negro distributor, and Miguel Rodríguez, a former Fuegian police officer dedicated today to carpentry.
In total, there are thirty figures with no previous experience in professional politics and with direct proximity to Milei. They do not have experience in legislative negotiations or in the construction of parliamentary agreements, which could make it difficult to adapt to Congress. If they manage to translate their trajectories from the private and professional sphere to the legislative dynamics, they will be able to try to install their agenda. Their performance will begin to be evaluated from December.
