Overview

• After resurfacing to rally PRO congressional candidates, Mauricio Macri said he is open to meeting Javier Milei but acknowledged they have not spoken in more than a year.
• Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos posted a photo noting a cordial exchange with Macri at a Saudi embassy event, which both camps described as a casual encounter without plans for a Milei–Macri meeting.
• Macri’s entourage says no one from the government has called and he does not plan to join street campaigning, though he may offer virtual support, while urging PRO lawmakers to “cuidar el cambio” in Congress and reject moves to destabilize the government in DNU debates.
• Following Milei’s New York trip and U.S. backing, the administration reactivated its campaign, convened a strategy meeting for Friday, and scheduled presidential visits to multiple provinces starting Monday in Tierra del Fuego.
• Responding to U.S. pressure for stability, the government called a Consejo de Mayo session for Monday at Casa Rosada, led by Francos, to build legislative backing with governors and other stakeholders.
