Macri Says Talks With La Libertad Avanza Made No Progress

His public comment highlights stalled negotiations over an opposition pact and leaves the prospect of a joint ticket unclear ahead of the 2027 presidential contest.

Overview

  • Mauricio Macri told reporters at the Fundación Hacemos! event that negotiations with La Libertad Avanza had not advanced, a view echoed by PRO lawmaker Fernando de Andreis.
  • PRO delegations have met repeatedly with government officials at the Casa Rosada in discussions convened by Chief of Cabinet Diego Santilli, but those meetings have not produced an electoral agreement.
  • The PRO issued a statement calling for greater diplomacy and dialogue with political rivals, and Macri used the event to highlight the party’s education programs.
  • Differences over foreign-policy tone and reactions to recent events in Brazil, including contrasting views on President Lula and figures like Flávio Bolsonaro, have underscored ideological gaps between the parties.
  • With talks unresolved, the opposition alignment for the 2027 race remains uncertain and could affect which candidates and platforms compete against the governing coalition.
