Overview
- Speaking at a La Libertad Avanza event in Tigre on Friday, Martín Menem said political construction is complex and warned that closing swift agreements with governors would risk the party’s identity.
- Menem framed the choice as short‑term electoral wins versus long‑term nation‑building by asking whether the goal is to ‘win an election’ or to build a country for the next 40 years.
- He defended President Javier Milei’s economic program as the party’s path to prosperity and urged members to stay committed to fiscal surplus, investment and jobs.
- The remarks come after reports that Chief of Cabinet Diego Santilli has stepped up meetings with provincial governors to seek backing for measures including eliminating PASO, highlighting a split with figures such as Menem and his cousin Eduardo.
- The Tigre gathering also served to strengthen La Libertad Avanza’s ground game in Buenos Aires as the party seeks new municipal leaders, a move that could shape coalition talks and control of the 2027 campaign.
