Karina Milei's Political Strategy in Buenos Aires

After assuming government, the official focused on obtaining party legitimacy in more than five provinces, achieving national recognition in September 2024. Accompanied by her closest collaborators, such as Martín and Eduardo “Lule” Menem, she toured the interior of the country to gather affiliations, a task she remains personally involved in and that will take her to the City of Buenos Aires next Saturday.

The City of Buenos Aires is of interest to the Casa Rosada, which plans to contest the PRO for its founding stronghold, although it faces the challenge of the expulsion of city legislator Ramiro Marra, who is considering running with his own list. As the electoral campaign approaches, Karina Milei, Secretary General of the Presidency, has entrusted Sebastián Pareja from the province of Buenos Aires and Pilar Ramírez from the City of Buenos Aires to lead a coordination table with libertarian representatives from nearby provinces.

This coordination, which has been in place since December 18, aims to work together in the districts where the party La Libertad Avanza will present its ballot, in order to establish a unified policy at the national level. To this end, meetings have been held with libertarian organizers from Río Negro, Santa Fe, La Pampa, Córdoba, Entre Ríos, and the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires.

Karina Milei's collaborators, Sebastián Pareja and Pilar Ramírez, serve as coordinators and are responsible for coordinating with second-line leaders who respond to representatives from different provinces. Among the initial priorities established are strengthening security and the health system in the regions.

Another initiative promoted by Karina Milei is to ensure that the party obtains the necessary federalism to maintain its independence when forming political alliances. Efforts are also underway to develop comprehensive plans to improve infrastructure and the use of natural resources to promote job creation.

Once the ideas are realized, each representative will be responsible for promoting the projects in their respective jurisdictions, which will be presented simultaneously to demonstrate the coordination and centralization of the political space led by La Libertad Avanza. In view of possible electoral agreements, the importance of the party's brand outweighs individual names, and it is emphasized that any group interested in allying with them must relinquish their preconditions. "There will be no traditional agreements. First us," said an organizer in an interview.
