Milei Hosts Macri at Olivos as PRO Backs Reforms and Plans 2027 Bid

Macri says the party will field its own candidate and presses the government to improve management and dialogue.

Overview

  • President Javier Milei is meeting Mauricio Macri at the Olivos residence today after a week of renewed contact that included a 10‑minute phone call.
  • Macri declared the PRO "more alive than ever" and said it will present a competitive presidential candidate in 2027, while prioritizing support for Milei’s liberal reform agenda now.
  • He urged the government to add “more muscle” in management and dialogue, to lower confrontational rhetoric, and hinted he is unlikely to run himself in 2027.
  • Internal debate is intensifying in the PRO, with Buenos Aires deputy mayor Clara Muzzio pushing tight alignment with Milei and María Eugenia Vidal arguing to rebuild an autonomous option for 2027.
  • The rapprochement includes former PRO figures in Milei’s cabinet and legislative coordination, and both Milei and Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos highlighted the President’s good working relationship with Macri.
