The break between Mauricio Macri and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta It is no longer a secret or a topic reserved for the corridors of the PRO. Fernando de Andreis – General Secretary of the Presidency and political operator close to the former president – put in words what in the macrismo is already lived as an consummated fact: the former head of Buenos Aires government not only moved away from the party, but did it with criticisms that fell as dagger.
“The approach was very ungrateful,” said of Andreis in radio dialogue, when consulted on Larreta’s announcement to compete in the next Buenos Aires elections outside the PRO and with a strongly critical tone towards the management of Jorge Macri. “He was with us all this time. Minimum, it is unintelligible that he has left in this way,” he added. But what bothered Macri most was the level of confrontation chosen by Larreta: “To say that the city has a pis smell is disrespectful”said of Andreis, referring to the phrase that the former mayor launched on social networks.
Anger is not less. Horacio Rodríguez Larreta It was for more than a decade one of the pillars of the PRO in the city of Buenos Aires. His departure, after being the successor of Macri at the Government Headquarters and then presidential candidate in 2023, opens an internal crack that until recently seemed contained. In the macrista environment they interpret their departure as an act of spite: “It is still injured by the 2023 electionwhere he thought he had the presidential band on and lost with Patricia (Bullrich), even here in the city, his own district, ”said Andreis in dialogue with Delta 90.3 ..
According to the political shipowner of macrismo, the Internal Buenos Aires is not just a matter of names. “The idea is to present a pro -pro team,” he explained, justifying the delays in defining candidacies. And although all eyes point to Fernán Quirós As a possible figure to head the official ballot in the city, macrismo seeks to strengthen a narrative that combines management with renewal.
The evaluation of the current Buenos Aires Administration also occupied part of the diagnosis: Public space planning, picket elimination, illegal trade control, educational reforms, health and safety investments, and the recent announcement of the new line F of the subway were highlighted as the achievements of Jorge Macri. “Management is our campaign”said De Andreis.
In parallel, a return from Mauricio Macri is not ruled out to the first electoral line. “Mauricio will be where the PRO and Argentina need it,” his trusted man slipped, leaving the door open to an eventual candidacy in October.
Meanwhile, the PRO faces its toughest inmate since its foundation. With a larreta released as an internal opponent and a macrismo determined to mark territory, the city dispute became the scene of a deeper confrontation: that of two visions faced on the future of the party they founded together.
