Just hours before the deadline for the May 18 election lists, the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, toured the City of Buenos Aires alongside leaders of La Libertad Avanza (LLA). Her presence in the capital city is significant in a context where it has not yet been decided who will head the ruling party's list in the local elections.
Bullrich, one of the most valued officials by President Javier Milei, was accompanied by the president of LLA in the City, Pilar Ramírez, the deputy Juan Pablo Arenaza, and legislators from the libertarian bloc in the Buenos Aires Legislature.
LLA challenges PRO in its electoral stronghold
This is the first appearance of a national official ahead of the midterm elections, where LLA will compete strongly against PRO, a party that has dominated Buenos Aires politics for 17 uninterrupted years.
"We have a superior project," Bullrich stated to the press.
The minister avoided confirming candidacies but made it clear that all the leaders of the space are available: "We are all candidates, we are all part, and each one will play in the place that the coach and the team say."
Criticism of the Buenos Aires government and Larreta
During her tour of Santa Fe Avenue, Bullrich criticized PRO's management in the City of Buenos Aires and highlighted differences with the speed of the transformations driven by Javier Milei at the national level.
"The country is changing, it's moving at a very fast pace, and the city continues as if that change doesn't exist," she asserted. "The chainsaw is dull in the City of Buenos Aires," she added.
