La Libertad Avanza raffles more than $29 million granted for the campaign in Salta

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,Orozco"We believe there are other priorities, such as education, health, security, where the money should be invested,"

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.

The announcement caused a strong repercussion in the Salta political scene. While traditional spaces accused the gesture of being "a media stunt," Orozco's video went viral quickly on social media, where it received a resounding citizen support. The growing indignation against the partisan use of public funds found an echo in this groundbreaking proposal that directly challenges the status quo.

The decision of La Libertad Avanza Salta is not an isolated event. It is part of a line of conduct that had its most memorable expression in the historic decision of Javier Milei to raffle his salary as a national deputy. That action, widely supported by the citizenry, was one of the keys that cemented his rise to power in 2023.

Today, in the midst of 2025, the libertarian message is not exhausted in words: it is executed in deeds. The voluntary rejection of state money and its return to the people through a raffle constitutes a disruptive act that challenges the rules of the traditional political system.

Deputy Orozco closed her message with a forceful statement: "We want to change the rules of the game. We are betting on a model where each political force takes care of its campaign without asking people for money."
