In an unprecedented event that marks a turning point in provincial politics, La Libertad Avanza (LLA) from Salta announced that it will raffle the $29,660,989.18 it received from electoral justice for campaign expenses. With this decision, the libertarian space reaffirms its conviction that public funds should not be used to finance the proselytizing activity of parties, in line with the principles that President Javier Milei has upheld since his beginnings in public life.
The measure was communicated through a video published on the official Instagram account of national deputy María Emilia Orozco, the main representative of LLA in the province and a leader close to former deputy Alfredo Olmedo. In the message, Orozco clearly explained the ethical basis of the decision:
"We came to take care of every penny of those who work. We believe that the last thing taxpayer money should be used for is to finance campaigns. At LLA, we practice what we preach, and that's why we decided to give it back to you through a raffle," she stated.
The exact amount to be raffled is $29,660,989.18, and it corresponds to the funds that the Electoral Justice allocated to LLA to finance its participation in the provincial elections. Deputy Orozco emphasized that it is not an electoral strategy, but a firm stance based on principles: "We believe there are other priorities, such as education, health, security, where the money should be invested," she noted.
Meanwhile, from the libertarian environment, it was highlighted that LLA's ballot in Salta will be financed exclusively with private and voluntary contributions, marking a clear differentiation from the traditional parties that depend almost entirely on state funding.
