Macri Rallies PRO Candidates, Keeps Distance From Milei Ahead of Oct. 26 Vote

Macri used a closed-door huddle to set a single campaign track that projects steadiness.

Overview

  • At PRO headquarters on Balcarce Street, Mauricio Macri led a coordination meeting with candidates from multiple provinces to align messaging for the midterms and discuss post‑election renewal.
  • Macri said he has not spoken with President Javier Milei for more than a year yet signaled he is available to help the country stabilize.
  • He acknowledged a currency challenge, praised the economic team led by Finance Minister Luis “Toto” Caputo, and urged prudence and calm in public messaging.
  • Macri highlighted a supportive post from U.S. Treasury official Scott Bessent as a reassuring signal for markets, a point echoed by Cristian Ritondo, who also accused opponents of seeking destabilization.
  • Attendees included figures such as Fernando de Andreis, Diego Santilli, Gisella Talquenca, and others from CABA, Buenos Aires Province and several interior districts, with Santilli predicting a La Libertad Avanza win and pressing for intensified campaigning.
