However, first of all, he belongs to the Matzkin team, a group that has mixed politics and business vigorously since the ’90s. Jorge Rubén “El Toto” Matzkin He is the one who stepped the hardest: he was president of the ruling bloc in the Menemist Congress, he supported and celebrated the privatizations, he became a millionaire and in La Pampa he was marked as one of the faces of corruption. Later he was vice minister of Carlos Corach and the interim Minister of the Interior Eduardo Duhaldebut he also escaped judicial accusation for the crimes of Maximiliano Kosteki and Darío Santillán.

Your son, David Matzkinwas also a Pampa representative of different forces: first of Duhaldism and last year of Juan Schiaretti and Florencio Randazzo. They also have a foot in the telecommunications business. Another son, Guillermo Matzkinwas a local representative of DirectTV in partnership with Aldo Matzkinthe father of the official whom Bullrich now appointed.
The Matzkin Group has extended tentacles in that corridor that unites politics with business and has always demonstrated great capacity for lobby, although its electoral power appears to be in decline. Even so, he continues to play at filling boxes and spaces of power.
PRO of La Pampa: the consensus that is not
Since Bullrich’s move, the PRO’s internal situation becomes spicy and whitens the crack that was under the carpet. Appearances are deceiving: in recent days the main hierarchies exhibited a consensus close to unanimity to welcome the party presidency of Mauricio Macri and get away from Bullrich and the libertarian government.
Even the national deputy Martin Ardohaincousin of “Pampita”, retraced his steps after the enthusiasm with which since he took office he campaigned for the policies of Javier Milei, whom before he was president he described as the visible face of “a leap into the void.” Ardohain remained silent for a couple of weeks and then bowed to the order to square with Macri.

The provincial deputy Maria Laura Trapaglia He made a point in that sense and came out to repeat that “the PRO and La Libertad Avanza are not the same”, even releasing some criticism of the national management. Deputy Enrique Juan He did a sudden somersault and forgot about his proximity to Bullrich to settle into Macri’s fold.
Behind the scenes operates the first creature that Macri blessed in La Pampa: “El Colo” Mac Allister, former soccer player and leader of his party in La Pampa. He lowered the line to his people: “we are not part of the government, we voted for Milei so that he does not win Sergio Massa“, told them.
Collateral damage of the PRO war
The passage of Bullrich convulses things and stings the scenario with a view to 2025, which already appeared confusing and with more actors than can take place. Pure libertarianism also plays its game and resists the PRO onslaught.
It is already known that Macri is trying to remove the PRO from the Milei government, also as a tactical matter to assert himself in next year’s legislative elections. Bullrich suggests being part of a specific alliance with La Libertad Avanza. That scenario, with this ministerial move, also lands in La Pampa and then the figure of Matzkin is also a preview of the fights and alliances that are to come.

One of the collateral damages implodes on Comunidad Organizada, Tierno’s party that seeks to be designated as a libertarian reference in the province. For years Tierno has had an almost personal issue with the PRO wing that landed in Pampetrol, precisely where the appointed Matzkin had his shelter: he denounces a dark pact between that sector and the Peronist governor Sergio Ziliotto.
Legislative representations of space are Sandra Fonsecawife of Tierno, and Maximiliano Aliagawho slammed the door on the PRO when an alliance that contained anti-Peronism in full was frustrated in La Pampa.
Bullrich’s new bishop leaves Tierno in off side and with a future full of questions, also very hurt because he has been trying to be a Security specialist for a long time.
