La Libertad Avanza consolidates its position in Córdoba and no longer needs borrowed endorsements.

With its own legal status and the support of the people, Milei's party is consolidating its identity and leaving behind provisional structures

The structure of La Libertad Avanza in Córdoba no longer depends on borrowed seals or temporary agreements. With Gabriel Bornoroni as the local leader and the national legal status consolidated, the libertarian space appears ready to compete without intermediaries.

Since the Milei brand began to gain traction among Córdoba voters, the party has become an electoral reference in its own right. The figures representing it, such as Bornoroni, embody this new stage: organizational self-sufficiency and popular support.

Meanwhile, some political groups that previously supported the movement are trying to negotiate their continued participation within the organization. However, if they do not have a place in the party, they will create parallel structures. These would only serve to confuse the electorate, potentially eroding the national ruling party's vote share.

Bornoroni capitalizes on the Milei brand

Gabriel Bornoroni, head of the caucus in the Chamber of Deputies, is currently focused on organizing the space without the need for external seals. His closeness to Karina Milei and his role as a reliable interlocutor position him as the main provincial organizer.

It is worth recalling that the Córdoba deputy is a key figure in the space, serving as president of LLA in Córdoba. Thus, among his main activities in the province are the various large-scale membership campaigns for the space. Likewise, his territorial work throughout the district stands out, appointing major leaders in all the localities of the province.

The days of occasional agreements are over. Today, the La Libertad Avanza seal has a life of its own, attracts votes and excites thousands of Córdoba residents who are hopeful about the transformation Javier Milei is driving from the national government.

The Libertarian Party, between waiting and the risk of parallel structures

Agustín Spaccesi, legislator and head of the Libertarian Party, expressed his willingness to remain within the national framework, although he did not rule out running his own list. The strategy, however, could prove counterproductive if it is interpreted as direct competition with LLA.

The risk of fragmenting the liberal vote and confusing the electorate with parallel seals is significant. When citizens identify with a project, the last thing they need is a proliferation of secondary brands that end up weakening the space they claim to support.

MID, aligned with the national ruling party

Deputy Cecilia Ibáñez, president of MID in Córdoba, confirmed that her group is part of LLA and working in a broad alliance with other sectors of the ruling party. MID seeks to increase its political weight, but without fracturing the core of the libertarian organization.

After her initial break with the caucus, Ibáñez realigned herself with the ruling party. Thus, she acknowledged that the path of confusing alliances is not useful when the priority is to support the ongoing transformation. "Córdoba at the national level is not a problem; the problem lies with PJ because Schiaretti doesn't want to be a candidate," Ibáñez stated.

The Democratic Party, on the edge of the system

Rodolfo Eiben, head of the Democratic Party, keeps the liberal discourse but distances himself from the national ruling party. Eiben keeps that the PD  is a "traditional liberal party, not libertarian." He added, "We support some of the national government's economic measures, but we are not part of the La Libertad Avanza framework."

By not having defined an alliance with LLA, he leaves the door open to a potential candidacy of his own. In practice, this could also take away some Córdoba votes from Milei's project.

It is necessary to recall that the official from Alta Gracia, and former candidate for governor of Córdoba, is currently a parliamentarian in Mercosur. It was thanks to the alliance of the party he leads with LLA, in 2023, that he was able to obtain this position in the regional bloc.

Although they support some government measures, remaining outside the La Libertad Avanza framework weakens the chances for real transformation. In times when the direction needs support, promoting parallel structures only benefits the opponents of the change proposed by Javier Milei.

In this context, there is no room for the proliferation of secondary liberal brands. It is time to demonstrate loyalty to the president's ideas and model, not to pursue the ambition of obtaining an elected office.
