The tensions in the electoral setup between the PRO and La Libertad Avanza (LLA) They are becoming increasingly evident in the framework of negotiations to establish political and legislative agreements. The deputy Martin Yeza, of the PRO, recently addressed the issue, revealing the complexities of the relationship and underlining the central role of Mauricio Macri and Javier Milei as key actors in any eventual alliance.
An agreement under the magnifying glass
Yeza recognized that the possibility of an electoral union between both forces depends fundamentally on the harmony between Macri and Milei, describing their role as a determining factor in avoiding greater tensions: “If there is a possibility of there being an agreement, it will be because on the one hand there is Mauricio Macri and on the other, Javier Milei”. However, he admitted that other figures and sectors, both within the PRO and in LLA, could generate “noise” and make negotiations difficult.
The deputy put the learnings obtained from Together for Change into perspective and raised an essential condition for moving forward: “If we do not share a cause, going together makes no sense. And if we share a cause, it makes no sense to go separately.” This statement reflects a pragmatic position that contrasts with the internal tensions of the PRO and the need to find common ground with an ruling party that seeks to advance structural reforms under the slogan of “capitalism on the stick.”
The weight of the internals in the PRO
Differences within the PRO also influence the potential for an agreement. Yeza highlighted that some leaders, such as Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, feel distant from the party, although they have not formally abandoned it. On the other hand, cases like that of Diego Valenzuela, who approached Milei in recent months, are seen as exceptions that do not represent a massive flight of leaders.
At the territorial level, Yeza defended the relevance of the PRO in local and national politics, highlighting that the mayors, governors and deputies of his space continue to be a significant force. “On the one hand, they say that the PRO is worthless, but on the other hand, our leaders continue to be valued. It seems more like a traditional power narrative,” he said.
An institutional challenge
Yeza also emphasized the importance of an agenda that combines economic growth with strengthening institutions: “If we achieve a country with capitalism and institutional framework in place, we will have a prosperous and unstoppable country.” However, he warned about the risk of a merely disruptive approach without a solid institutional framework, highlighting that the transformations must become norms that transcend governments.
Uncertain future
The possibility of an agreement between the PRO and LLA remains uncertain. Although talks are ongoing, the challenge lies in overcoming internal differences, finding common cause and preventing tensions between the second lines of both spaces from undermining the negotiations. As Yeza put it: “The challenge is not just to change people, but also the practices and culture of power to achieve different results.”
This panorama makes it clear that, although Macri and Milei have the necessary leadership to seal an agreement, the internal fractures and ideological differences in both spaces could be decisive in the final outcome.
