Overview
- Mauricio Macri gathers the PRO National Council in Buenos Aires to redefine alliances, discipline the bloc, and deter further departures to La Libertad Avanza.
- Eight deputies aligned with Patricia Bullrich formally joined LLA, which held a first expanded meeting, confirmed Gabriel Bornoroni as leader, and named Nicolás Mayoraz and Silvana Giudici as parliamentary secretaries.
- LLA projects a floor of 88 deputies from December and has begun internal training for newcomers as Congress prepares to take up the 2026 budget followed by tax and labor reforms.
- PRO must decide how to vote on the budget after signing the committee report in dissent over unpaid coparticipation funds to Buenos Aires City, with local officials citing a 274,000 million peso shortfall.
- The crisis includes fresh moves in Córdoba, where national PRO authorities weigh another intervention as Laura Rodríguez Machado resigns from the PRO council and formalizes her switch to LLA following prior judicial rulings that complicated party control.
