Milei and Macri Set Post‑Oct. 27 Push to Build Votes for Structural Reforms

Macri signaled PRO votes alone will not secure passage, pressing Milei to widen alliances.

Overview

  • President Javier Milei met Mauricio Macri at the Olivos residence for nearly two hours, their second meeting in five days, with Karina Milei and Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos attending.
  • Milei publicly announced that they agreed to work together starting October 27 to construct the consensuses required to advance structural reforms.
  • Sources from both camps said Milei sought PRO backing for fiscal and labor changes, while Macri stopped short of a blanket endorsement.
  • Macri cautioned that PRO support would be insufficient and urged outreach to governors and other blocs to recover legislative momentum after recent defeats.
  • The rapprochement also serves to project governability to markets, the White House and the IMF as the government navigates congressional setbacks and the controversy surrounding José Luis Espert.
