Villarruel and Bullrich Strike Senate Truce to Prioritize Milei’s Agenda

Villarruel pledged collaboration from an institutional role, leaving vote counting to the enlarged LLA bloc.

Overview

  • Patricia Bullrich and Victoria Villarruel held a private, hour-long meeting in the Senate without advisers or photographers to coordinate the chamber’s operation.
  • Bullrich urged that the government’s bills receive preferential treatment on the Senate agenda and reiterated her prior call for no obstruction of executive initiatives.
  • Villarruel stressed she cannot block proceedings under the Constitution and House rules, promising an open-door office for all senators across blocs.
  • Both leaders framed the encounter as an agreement to work together going forward, with no detailed pact disclosed and majority-building assigned to La Libertad Avanza.
  • The ruling party’s caucus has expanded from seven to twenty senators, sharpening the push to advance Milei’s reforms in upcoming extraordinary sessions.
