Guillermo Francos on Javier Milei's Re-election: 'Necessary to Consolidate Achievements'

Former Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos expressed strong confidence in President Javier Milei's re-election prospects in 2027, stating it is not only necessary but achievable. Francos argued that a second term would allow the current administration to solidify its accomplishments and implement reforms that have thus far lacked consensus.

“

I not only think it is necessary but I also think he will achieve it.

Speaking with José Del Rio on LN+, Francos highlighted Milei's proactive leadership style, which he believes the Argentine people will recognize. He suggested that even if citizens have not yet seen all the expected improvements in their immediate circumstances, they will observe a fundamentally different economy under construction, attracting international focus. Francos emphasized the significance of a government that articulates liberal ideas and engages effectively with the global community.

“

I believe that a re-election of the President is necessary to consolidate all the achievements.

Francos also voiced his agreement with the government's agenda to eliminate the PASO (Primary Open Simultaneous) elections. He described the PASO system as an "invention" that has proven to be a costly and politically or institutionally senseless process for candidate selection. He indicated that suspending the PASO until sufficient consensus is reached would be a reasonable alternative if outright elimination is not immediately possible.

“

I believe, as I was just saying, that so much progress has been made on reforms that when one compares the current government's management with previous ones... Of course, with the personality of the President himself, which some object to but who is a leader who moves forward and resolves... I think the Argentine people will see that.
