Mauricio Macri gathered the PRO's National Council in Buenos Aires to outline a roadmap independent of Javier Milei's government. The meeting ratified conditional support for official reforms and the building of a liberal alternative for 2027. It emphasized preserving own parliamentary blocs and containing leader defections.
On November 12, 2025, after 10 a.m., Mauricio Macri convened the PRO's leadership at the party headquarters on Balcarce 412 in San Telmo, Buenos Aires. The goal was to reaffirm the party's identity amid the libertarian surge and halt leader losses, including seven deputies close to Patricia Bullrich, Senator Carmen Álvarez Rivero, and Deputy Belén Avico from Córdoba, who defected to La Libertad Avanza (LLA).
Macri was emphatic: "The clarity I recommend is a complete liberal vision. Being liberal in freedom of expression, in respecting institutions. We have never believed in personalisms". He added: "A liberal vision accompanied by institutional strengthening. Let's not forget we are a management party and believe in details". After a disappointing dinner with Milei, the former president highlighted differences and called to build a liberal variant from the bottom up.
The National Council outlined five key conclusions: 1) Maintain identity without new electoral deals with LLA and preserve PRO blocs in all chambers and provincial legislatures. 2) Ensure provincial autonomy to prevent further defections. 3) Support labor and tax reforms but scrutinize details and propose amendments. 4) Back the 2026 Budget while demanding funds for Buenos Aires City's coparticipation. 5) Seek a national candidate and a liberal alternative in all districts for 2027, with the conviction that "in 2027 there must be our candidates everywhere".
Soledad Martínez, PRO vice president, pushed for preserving own blocs to regain national prominence. Cristian Ritondo will continue leading the Deputies bloc. The meeting featured attendees like Jorge Macri, María Eugenia Vidal, Guillermo Montenegro, and various legislators, but notable absences included Diego Santilli and Néstor Grindetti. It addressed the situation in Córdoba and with Santa Fe's vice governor, Gisela Scaglia, who attended.
