Overview

• Mauricio Macri amplified Fernando De Andreis’s message casting the Oct. 26 legislative elections as a virtual runoff between the PRO–La Libertad Avanza bloc and kirchnerismo.
• Macri urged opponents of kirchnerismo not to disperse ballots, saying many voters who chose alternatives in 2019 now regret it.
• De Andreis warned that votes for Martín Lousteau, Facundo Manes, Graciela Ocaña and Coalition Civic candidates would split the opposition and benefit Peronism.
• Lousteau rejected the framing in a public post, equating recent libertarian‑linked controversies with past scandals under Alberto Fernández and calling for a different unified option.
• Macri’s stance follows renewed meetings with President Javier Milei at the Olivos residence, even as internal PRO figures and provincial leaders voice unease after the José Luis Espert affair and other tensions.
