Mauricio Macri reappeared before PRO leadership at an event in Parque Norte, Buenos Aires, backing Javier Milei's government while positioning his party as the 'next step' toward 2027. He called to rebuild the party and develop own candidates, without boycotting the administration. The gathering drew thousands of leaders with yellow balloons and music.
The PRO held a relaunch at the Salón Ombú of Golden Center in Parque Norte, featuring a classic setup: yellow balloons, music, and strong territorial presence. Attendees included governors, mayors, and legislators such as Jorge Macri, Rogelio Frigerio, Ignacio Torres, Cristian Ritondo, Fernando de Andreis, Soledad Martínez, Guillermo Montenegro, Martín Yeza, and Silvia Lospennato, exceeding 3,000 people per party estimates. Absent was Diego Santilli, national Interior Minister from Milei's government, to avoid inter-party tensions. Macri set the tone: 'The PRO is not here to question the direction, it is here to complete it'. He praised Milei's fiscal balance as a starting point but urged a second stage 'from fiscal balance to investments', focusing on growth and jobs. 'We are the next step', he stated, positioning PRO as a key player without dilution. 'We support without being in government and without asking for anything in return', he said, warning: 'The one who remains silent when they should speak weakens the change'. María Eugenia Vidal quipped: 'To be dead, we're quite a lot' and called to prepare to compete in 2027. Leaders backed the economic direction but noted differences on media ties, judicial tensions, halted public works, and the adjustment's social impact. PRO plans similar events in provinces, to rebuild the party and form own candidates for 2027, without yet defining alliances or candidacies, focusing on Buenos Aires City where La Libertad Avanza pushes Manuel Adorni.
