Judicial setback for Macri: the court restored PRO’s seal to Agost Carreño

The decision disrupts the party's internal balance in Córdoba ahead of the alliance deadline for the elections

The National Electoral Chamber annulled the intervention ordered by Mauricio Macri in Córdoba's PRO and  restored party control to Agost Carreño. The legislator is part of the Encuentro Federal bloc, which keeps agreements with the llaryorismo and schiarettismo. The judicial measure nullifies the appointment of Martín Yeza as the party's trustee in Córdoba. The ruling surprised PRO leadership, since it alters negotiations that Macrismo was seeking to finalize with La Libertad Avanza in several provinces. With this decision, the formation of joint lists between both parties for the October national elections becomes more complicated. Certain sectors of PRO were even considering accepting lower positions on the list in order to reach an agreement. Now, with the party seal once again in Agost Carreño's hands, the chances of a pact with the national government are significantly reduced. The deputy keeps a critical stance toward President Javier Milei's administration and his inner circle. He is also pursuing a sensitive judicial complaint against the Government in the Libra case, which further heightens the political tension.
