Overview
- Meeting began at the PRO headquarters on Balcarce Street in Buenos Aires, led by Mauricio Macri with broad national and provincial participation.
- Bloc chief Cristian Ritondo said the PRO will back labor changes and a balanced budget, and he rejected talk of a mass defection of legislators.
- Macri’s inner circle ruled out forming a single interbloc with La Libertad Avanza despite proposals circulating in the Chamber of Deputies.
- Reports say Patricia Bullrich instructed five sitting deputies and two newly elected to leave the PRO for the libertarian bloc, intensifying internal pressure.
- Tensions with President Javier Milei persist after Macri questioned Manuel Adorni’s elevation to chief of Cabinet and publicly preferred YPF’s Horacio Marín for the post.
