"Mirá, hay uno que se llama como vos": Tronco contó cómo llegó a ser candidato de La Libertad Avanza

Overview

  • The Cámara Nacional Electoral froze candidate lists on August 18, officially placing Sergio 'Tronco' Figliuolo at No. 11 on La Libertad Avanza's Buenos Aires slate.
  • His nomination prompted sharp reactions online, including a public endorsement from libertarian activist Daniel Parisini on X.
  • Figliuolo’s profile surged after a viral June interview with President Javier Milei and a past on-air controversy that led him to issue a public apology.
  • La Libertad Avanza’s Buenos Aires ticket is headed by José Luis Espert and features allied PRO figures, making vote distribution and coalition dynamics critical for lower-ranked candidates.
  • Figliuolo will enter Congress only if La Libertad Avanza secures a strong vote share in Buenos Aires during upcoming provincial and national contests.
