Milei and Macri Agree to Coordinate After Vote as Protests Derail Santa Fe Stop

Macri signaled conditional support, urging broader coalitions to pass fiscal and labor reforms.

Overview

  • After a meeting at Olivos, Milei announced an agreement with Macri to “work together” starting October 27 to build post‑election consensuses.
  • Mauricio Macri called the encounter “very good” and pointed to the need for structural reforms after October 26, but stopped short of a blanket endorsement.
  • Large demonstrations in Santa Fe forced the cancellation of a planned walkabout; police reported at least five detentions and the itinerary was shifted to a hotel departure.
  • Milei traveled to Paraná and met privately with Entre Ríos governor Rogelio Frigerio, with the Presidency confirming the encounter before a rally with supporters.
  • The government faced market pressure, with reported dollar sales of about $200 million in a day and near $2 billion in a week, while it retooled campaign strategy and Milei reaffirmed José Luis Espert’s candidacy despite the scandal.
