Carrió Launches Buenos Aires Campaign, Slams Milei’s Economic Team and His U.S. Loan Bid

Coalición Cívica casts itself as a republican check on the government ahead of October’s midterms.

Overview

  • At Palermo’s Prosvita hall, Elisa Carrió introduced Hernán Reyes for deputy and Marcela Campagnoli for senator, with party leaders attending and more than 300 people reported present.
  • Carrió accused Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Central Bank president Santiago Bausili of favoring traders and liquidating reserves, calling them responsible for putting Argentina near default.
  • She criticized the President’s plan to seek a U.S. Treasury loan and urged geopolitical independence that maintains ties with the United States, BRICS and Mercosur partners.
  • Reyes said the party intends to place limits on Milei, defend the middle class, and protect public education and health services.
  • Campagnoli highlighted persistent inflation and warned that without confronting corruption there is no path forward, framing the Buenos Aires push as part of the Oct. 26 congressional contest.
