A little over a week ago, Karina Milei y Santiago Caputo They held a meeting alone of great relevance for the ruling party. Was A conversation to the policy removed, where many things were said that they had been keeping under the carpet. An intense and brutal honesty talk after a time in which La Libertad advances (lla) It was crossed by internal as a pressure cooker. There were no direct witnesses of what the two vertices of the “iron triangle” that governs the country were said. But, the next day, in the environment of both, they referred to the episode as “What happened yesterday.”
From there there were runrunes and different versions circulated – as said – from indirect sources. A part of Los “Karina” (Territorial shipowners that respond to the Secretary General of the Presidency so that the Mileista party exists throughout the country), said the discussion was fatal. And that Milei’s sister curled Caputo that he, as a star political consultant (his original role, to win elections) He had “raised the leg” and played crooked in Santa Fe and that would be doing the same in the Federal Capital.
Near the presidential advisor said that, on the contrary, the balance was positive. That Karina asked Caputo if it was true that he had not “put everything” – in terms of campaign resources – to have a better performance in Santa Fe. There the list of lla to conventional provincial constituents headed by deputy Nicolás Mayoraz came out third with 14 points. And that Caputo – who always advised not to play in that election – explained that it was Impossible to win a choice (“Magic”) without a good strategy and without good candidates. Incidentally, according to that version, he took the opportunity to tell him that part of his surroundings of “shipowners” were harming it, because they prioritized Box with the Pami and Anses offices (to the “caste”) And because they want to play local elections to add resources, to the detriment of the strategy you need Javier Milei In national legislative.
The intern of lla between The “consultants” headed by Caputo y the “shipowners” led by “Lule” and Martín Menem It has been displayed on two levels. On the one hand it is The conceptual difference regarding the electoral strategy. The Menem want to play until the last election to the country’s school counselor with the ballot of a pure violet. And Milei’s strategist considers that There are local elections that do not have to play, not to wear out the brand (if the result is going to be poor) and to prioritize political agreements (with the governor or with other parties) that allow, in October, to add more benches in Congress.
There is a second level of the internal, that of the leaders who are referenced on both sides, much less sophisticated. There Zancadillas, Operations through the media and traps do not cease.
An important source of the government assured The nation that, after that famous talk, Karina asked for a white flag between Caputo and the Menem. “Last weekend, Santiago, Lule and Martín worked to lower their foam. The conflict between them three is down now, ”he said.
On Sunday of the Superclassic, according to a photo that TN, Caputo, showed that it is from Boca, went to see the monumental match to a box where there were River leaders. Was it also a friendly gesture towards the Menem that are involved in the club’s policy?
If the intention in Lla’s dome is to relax, out – now – harmony was not much noticed.
On Monday, Caputo decided at the last moment to attend the dinner of the Libertad Foundation (An ultraliberal space historically identified with pro that libertarians want to dispute) to search, on, A photo with Mauricio Macri. A small gesture of approach, With a certain perverse seasoning, To keep alive the possibility of closing an agreement in the province of Buenos Aires, as Milei wants. The next day, the president of Lla in the province of Buenos Aires, Sebastián Pareja, He went to detonate all the bridges. “We don’t need to buy them, they were given away,” He undertook from Bahía Blanca. They say that even the Menem seemed a lot taking into account the place that figures such as Patricia Bullrich occupy.
On Friday afternoon, meanwhile, the Central house of Pami published an explosive statement. The authorities of the social work of the retirees announced that they will do an internal investigation in the delegations of the agency itself to audit purchases without tender. They said that measures will be taken so that the PAMI offices in the provinces cease to be “A black box at the service of politics.” That is, the Pami dome that indirectly commands the Minister of Health, Mario Lugones (an official who meets Santiago Caputo almost 15 years ago), will investigate the delegations of the agency where the provincial referents that respond to the assembly of the Menem carve.
But perhaps the most significant episode was the one that occurred with a libertarian militant from Junín. For the first time, all the political mud that unfolds in the third and fourth lines He reached the ears of Javier Milei, That he hates political-partisan issues and does not want to lose a second in that.
Marina Biagetti libertarian influencer denounced in X that the coordinator of Lla in Junín, Alberto Pascual (In turn, head of the Pami delegation in that town) disconnected it from the political space for being part of “the forces of heaven”, the militant group that the tweeter Daniel Parisini commands, better known as Gordo and.
“Javier learned and sent him to throw Pascual,” He assured a tweeter with arrival at the Casa Rosada. On Friday, on the spot with Manuel Adorni in Lugano, Milei hugged Biagetti. Pascual, indeed, was fired.
In the province of Buenos Aires, The dispute between “the forces of heaven” and a couple is red alive. “There is a lot of quilombo,” they even recognize the pacifists who say that in the first lines an armistice is being sought. The “Celestials” say that the head of Lla de Buenos Aires seeks to run to all its youthful paintings, as happened in Junín. And that there are too many referents in the party armed to which a past can be tracked in Kirchnerism.
It will be seen if after all this noise a real integration between shipowners and strategists is possible. In the Federal Capital, Adori -A Karina Soldier- wants to be a pledge of unity. Not by chance asked that the Buenos Aires debate on the city channel Santiago Caputo and Macarena Alifraco will accompany him, right hand of the presidential advisor. The Buenos Aires campaign table is commanded by Karina’s lieutenant, Pilar Ramírez. But Caputo’s team (there Tomás Vidal, one of the experts of Move Group, the historic consultant of the Milei advisor) gave advice for the narrative. They are the authors of the new slogan “Kirchnerism or freedom” that goes up to the ring to Leandro Santoro and avoids confronting pro, surely based on surveys and focus group.
LLA’s intern in the province of Buenos Aires further complicates The very locked alliance with Pro. The libertarians want an agreement to the Massa style 2013, when the macrismo placed three candidates on the list of the Tigrense. But now pro is light years at that time, with 14 intendants and its own structure throughout the territory. Macri wants a coalition of parties. In one terminal and another they agree that nothing can be discussed until after the Buenos Aires election, on May 18, where violets and yellow compete to all or nothing. The expectation is that, once that instance is over, the president and his predecessor come together. “If you get to give, they will organize them with a WhatsApp,” they say near Macri.
In favor there is also no unit of criteria. 15 days ago, Diego Santilli -One of the main militants of the agreement with the libertarians- met with Macri and with Fernando de Andreis in the former president’s house. Macri wanted to know if the “colo” had already closed a personal agreement to play with mileism. If the last name had been changed. Santilli swore no, but he warned Macri that he was going to make a mistake if he bet to play against Lla in Buenos Aires. That is, he aimed to leave third but with the power of damage to the government.
The scenario of Buenos Aires is projected to other districts governed by PRO or by the UCR. “If Lla and the governors do not agree, in many districts with 30 points you can win Peronism. And the PJ is already known as wrapping,” they warned near a provincial president.
Another detail: Milei went out to walk through Lugano with Adorni because it is his “voice.” But No one imagines it by lifting a candidate who never saw in his life. In Santa Fe, the libertarians had Hug a gigantography of the president.
Milei is not interested in wasting time with people who does not know and is inroámico in his links. It is not one of the presidents that extend their relationship network, precisely, for being presidents. To understand their priorities and interests, it is enough to listen to their dissertations and read his account in X. On Wednesday, at the EFI Expo, he spoke for an hour and 45 minutes alternately of his economic program and the problems of neoclassical theory while draining some praise to adorni (sitting in the front row) and distributed insults to “Econochantas, corrupt politicians, ensobed journalists, syndigarcas and republican ños.”
Today nothing obsesses the president more than His hatred (still “insufficient,” as he says) against journalism. Milei’s X account is an infinite thread of tweets attacking journalists (he hardly dedicates messages to the opposition) and behind his troll troops amplify the messages of hostility, while the Government’s intellectual, Agustín Laje, He claims to “accelerate the cultural battle against the country’s junk journalism.”
Meanwhile, libertarians gain ground on YouTube. They say that Gordo and, that last year was the star of Fuck In this season he directly took control over all the contents of the official streaming channel.
The Government’s daily navigates, between the war against the media and the electoral brawls while Milei recovers air with its main letter of presentation: Ray maintenance of inflation and the value of the dollar as powerful stability signals, Even when, according to the CP consultancy, there was a brake on salary recovery in the first quarter of the year because salaries agreed by parity were being under inflation (it could only be compensated for extra hours).
The Casa Rosada can only diversify the agenda through some initiatives by decree, such as immigration reform, which would leave the official newsletter. In Congress, the opposition is in war, claiming a session to carry extremely leading issues for the government, such as the pension moratorium and the university budget.
Milei could surf this political scenario to the October elections. But not much beyond: as he said, he must face Fund reforms: the tax, labor and, later, the pension. That will need hands in Congress. Hence the enormous relevance that all internal discussion has in lla.
