Leila Gianni Leaves La Libertad Avanza

Her accusations against provincial operatives, coupled with a pledge to build a 'force from below', signal a widening rift inside the ruling libertarian coalition.

Overview

  • Gianni announced on Wednesday that she has resigned her party membership in La Libertad Avanza in a post on X and said she no longer recognizes the movement's direction.
  • She framed the split as a policy break with President Javier Milei's economic model, saying macroeconomic priorities have left many workers, merchants and neighborhoods behind.
  • Gianni accused provincial arm Sebastián Pareja and local LLA leaders of putting power and business interests first and said she received no institutional answers to suspected irregular dealings in La Matanza.
  • She will keep her seat on the La Matanza council and continue in her own Alianza Libertad Republicana monobloc, a move that prompted two PRO-aligned councillors to announce they will form a separate PRO bloc.
  • Her exit follows earlier local leadership swaps inside LLA and highlights a provincial reordering that could reshape political alignments in La Matanza and influence succession battles ahead of 2027.
