TLDR

  • Karina Milei has paved the way for Patricia Bullrich to potentially become the candidate for head of government in Buenos Aires in 2027.
  • Milei, a key figure in the national government, met with Bullrich and her allies, signaling a truce.
  • The meeting aimed to consolidate support for La Libertad Avanza (LLA) in the capital and challenge the Pro party's influence.

In a significant political maneuver, Karina Milei, the influential Secretary General of the Presidency, has signaled a strategic alliance with Patricia Bullrich, positioning her as a strong contender for the Buenos Aires mayoralty in 2027. This overture, solidified in a meeting with Bullrich and her key supporters, appears to mend recent political rifts and consolidate the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) party's power base in the capital. The move, framed with the slogan 'Let's make CABA great again,' directly challenges the Pro party's traditional dominance in the city. Milei's clear directive to her party members is to avoid any negotiations with the Pro party, emphasizing LLA's ambition to govern the city independently. This consolidation of power within the ruling party, particularly in the crucial electoral landscape of Buenos Aires, underscores the Milei administration's focus on strengthening its political hold.

Let's make CABA great again.

— LLALLA's official statement following the meeting with Karina Milei and Patricia Bullrich, echoing the MAGA slogan.
