The political and personal link between Ramiro Marra and Javier Milei It constitutes one of the most intense chapters in the recent history of the libertarian right. The relationship between the two was born long before television flashes and campaign lecterns. In the classrooms of the University of Salvador, the young financier was studying a degree in Capital Markets and every now and then he would cross the classroom to listen to the Microeconomics classes taught by the future president.
That academic admiration transformed over the years into a militant society. Through your family financial structure, Bull Market GroupMarra was the first financial contributor to the economist’s initial campaigns and an undisputed pioneer in the construction of the digital scaffolding of space with the founding of the Libertarian Party. In 2021, leveraged on his popularity as a finance YouTuber, he headed the list for the Buenos Aires Legislature in the electoral debut of Freedom Advanceswinning a seat and immediately assuming the presidency of the legislative bloc.
The structural breaking point began to take shape after the 2023 elections. Despite having been Milei’s candidate for the Head of Government of Buenos Aires – garnering 17% of the votes – Marra was marginalized from the distribution of positions in the new national cabinet after the arrival of the Milei brothers to the Casa Rosada. The exile was the work of the General Secretary of the Presidency, Karina Mileiwho applied a strict family filter that vetoed the broker from any relevant national position and even began to undermine his influence in the Buenos Aires parliamentary sphere.
The open confrontation broke out when the national official promoted a maneuver to dethrone Marra from the block leadership of the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires. The one chosen to deliver the blow was María del Pilar Ramíreza legislator with a past linked to sectors of Peronism who had quickly become the right hand and favorite gunner of the presidential sister in the district. Ramírez initially obtained the endorsement of six of the nine members of the bench to displace Marra. The dispute and the verticality imposed by the president’s younger sister made coexistence in the legislative palace unsustainable.
Marra’s final political execution was completed at the end of January of last year. Through a brief and withering statement issued at midnight on the official networks of La Libertad Avanza, the party announced the total and irreversible disassociation of Marra at the national level and in all districts. The argument put forward by Milei’s small table was that the legislator had voted in favor of a City budget – under the management of Jorge Macri – that included tax increases, which flagrantly contradicted the president’s economic doctrine. The leader expressed his surprise at a unilateral expulsion without warning, which he interpreted as a “bed” laid out in the president’s intimate environment.
Far from calling for silence, with the expiration of his mandate looming and the doors of the ruling party closed, the economist once again launched himself as a candidate for Buenos Aires legislator outside the structure of La Libertad Avanza. Adopting a defiant strategy but maintaining a discourse of liberal principles, Marra sought to compete for the hard-core electorate against the official list led by the then presidential spokesperson and future Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni.the candidate anointed by the Milei brothers to consolidate purple power in the capital district.
The independent electoral adventure ended in a harsh political defeat for the broker. In the May 2025 elections, the official ballot of La Libertad Avanza led by Adorni won the victory in the City of Buenos Aires by obtaining 30.13% of the votes, causing a strong shock on the Buenos Aires political board. On the contrary, Ramiro Marra’s marginal nomination barely garnered 2.62% of the total votes of the electorate. This percentage was insufficient to exceed the required floor, which mathematically determined the loss of his seat and sentenced his effective departure from the Buenos Aires Legislature.
Institutionally isolated, the definitive break in loyalties has deepened drastically towards mid-2026. The Buenos Aires leader broke media secrecy to send a very harsh open letter addressed to Javier Milei. In said text, the former legislator categorically demanded the resignation of Manuel Adorni, warning that the libertarian project “is beginning to die inside” due to the privileges of the presidential circle of trust and the lies that are hidden from the Head of State. Below is the complete letter from Ramiro Marra published on his X account.
Open letter to the President of the Nation. Mr. President:
I write to you not as a political leader, but as what I am today: a citizen of the private sector. One more of the millions of Argentines who produce, who generate work, who risk their capital every day and who at the time decided to accompany a change that seemed impossible.
I am writing to you precisely because I believe in the economic model and the reforms that your government is carrying out. And because I believe in him, I cannot remain silent about what is happening. I trust in the cultural change that we Argentines decide to face.
There is a situation that you know better than anyone and that I do not need to name. A situation that has been wearing down the government for months: it occupies the agenda, covers up the achievements and erodes the most valuable thing that this project has, which is the word. Argentines did not vote only numbers. They voted for the promise to end privileges, accommodations and the idea that there are officials who are above the rest. That was the contract. And that contract today is being called into question.
Here is the point I want to make with you, with all due respect: this project is not yours. It does not belong to a person, nor to a family, nor to a circle of trust. This project belongs to the vast majority of Argentines who decided, democratically and at the polls, to leave behind decades of bad habits. You are the representative of that change and the main person responsible for taking care of it. But he is not its owner. And taking care of it, many times, means making decisions that hurt.
Because ideas and projects are worth more than any personal or family relationship that a president may have. More than any affection, any loyalty and any individual trust, like the one I once had in you. The day a personal relationship outweighs the coherence of the project, the project begins to die inside, even though the economy continues to function.
I tell you this with moral authority, because I had to live it on the other side. I was one of those who founded this space. I built it from the beginning, when almost no one believed. And one day they removed me, unilaterally, without warning, through a tweet, with ridiculous excuses. It hurt me, of course it hurt me. But I knew how to keep quiet. I didn’t go out to break anything, I didn’t harm the project and I didn’t become a flag for the opposition. I understood that the project was bigger than me, and that my personal pride could not be above what millions of people were waiting for.
If that same standard was applied to me—a founder, unjustly removed—the only thing I ask today is that it be applied with the same firmness to any official. Without distinctions, without shields and without exceptions due to proximity. Consistency is not claimed only when it is comfortable.
I’m not asking you to agree with me. I ask you to make the appropriate decision. The one that takes care of the model, the one that protects the pledged word and the one that returns to the government the moral strength that the Argentines gave it.
This change is bigger than any of us. Bigger than me, who already lived it firsthand. And bigger, too, than you, Mr. President. Taking care of it is your responsibility. And there is still time.
With respect, and with the sincerity of someone who wants this to turn out well, Ramiro Marra.
