The mass event of La Libertad Avanza at the close of the electoral campaign

Days away from the key elections in Buenos Aires City, President Javier Mileiled a massive campaign closing event in support of his spokesperson and main candidate for Buenos Aires legislator, Manuel Adorni. The event, held in Recoleta, consolidated the libertarian advance over a district governed by PRO since 2007 and made it clear that, for the national government, the battle in CABA is much more than local: it is a contest for the future of the country's model.

"The failed yellows are fighting for fourth place," fired Milei against PRO, while he dedicated his usual bluntness to Kirchnerism: "We are the real change. We are going to put the last nail in Kirchnerism's coffin."

Accompanied by all his ministers —including Guillermo Francos, Patricia Bullrich, Luis Caputo, Sandra Pettovello, Federico Sturzenegger, and Karina Milei— the President reiterated the economic achievements of his administration, especially the April inflation, which dropped to 2.8% according to INDEC, consolidating the downward trend. "There is much to be done: lifting a third of Argentines out of poverty, implementing countless structural reforms. But on the other side are the orcs who want to ruin this effort," he warned.

The event also served to reaffirm Karina Milei's leadership and the consolidation of the space: "There are no cracks," they noted from the organization. The "Forces of Heaven," led by advisor Santiago Caputo, marched alongside the "karinismo" chanting "freedom, freedom, freedom." On stage, legislator Pilar Ramírez called to "paint the City purple" and declared: "Sunday is freedom or Kirchnerism."

Meanwhile, Manuel Adorni —defined by Milei as his "institutional and communicational extension"— resumed the libertarian rhetoric: "They will have to keep eating popcorn because we are stronger than ever." In an epic tone, he urged to "defeat Kirchnerism and make Argentina and the City great again."

The atmosphere was one of libertarian fervor. Figures such as deputy José Luis Espert, young leader Agustín Romo, influencer "El Gordo Dan," and former presidential CM Iñaki Gutiérrez were also present. Even iconic characters like libertarian Mickey Mouse and "El Zorro" made an appearance, symbols of the rebellious aesthetic of the new government.

Martín Menem, president of the Chamber of Deputies, was categorical: "With 36 deputies we did more than all previous governments with 107. No one did more for Clean Record than us." And he denounced: "It's stupid to say we want Cristina Kirchner as a candidate. We will return with that project next year."

Milei also took the opportunity to respond to Mauricio Macri, who had accused him of "hallucinations" over the failed Clean Record vote: "I will not describe the inconsistencies of the failed yellows, the fight is against Kirchnerism and its state allies."

In the final stretch, he reiterated his call to oversee: "I ask you to protect the votes. Don't let criminals take over the state through illegitimate means. Support Manuel, because Adorni is Milei."

The electoral battle and the libertarian goal

This Sunday's election will define the renewal of 30 of the 60 seats in the Buenos Aires Legislature.La Libertad Avanza is putting six of its current eight seats at stake and aims to expand them to influence the head of government, Jorge Macri, from a bolder reform agenda. Among the initiatives is a local Basic Law, inspired by the national proposal, which promotes the elimination of political positions and unnecessary agencies.

Additionally, the election presents itself as a "hidden primary" between the libertarian space and PRO for the representation of the anti-Peronist vote in the City. LLA aims to capitalize on the rejection of the Kirchnerist model and attract an electorate that has become disenchanted with Macrism.
