Macri Reemerges in Italy as PRO Elevates De Andreis to Drive Party Overhaul

The appointment consolidates Macri’s grip on PRO as the party seeks to arrest losses to La Libertad Avanza.

Overview

  • Mauricio Macri posted from Bologna that he is teaching leadership at the Bologna Business School, his first public appearance since confirming his separation from Juliana Awada.
  • The PRO announced Fernando De Andreis as national secretary-general, presenting the move as the start of a renewal to modernize the party and strengthen its federal structure.
  • De Andreis said parties face an existential threat and pledged to build a national team to reinvent PRO, calling the party’s future difficult and different.
  • He replaces Facundo Pérez Carletti, whom the party thanked as he shifts focus to serving as a provincial legislator in Santiago del Estero.
  • Multiple reports interpret the change as consolidating Macri’s influence and an initial step to reposition PRO for 2027 after electoral setbacks and defections to La Libertad Avanza.
