Waldo Wolff's departure as Minister of Security of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires occurred within the framework of strategic adjustments and political pressures in the Pro space, which is at a crossroads regarding a possible alliance with Javier Milei's La Libertad Avanza in view of the upcoming elections.
Jorge Macri decided to remove Wolff from his position, redirecting him to political organization for the upcoming elections, after he failed in the area of security. The former minister's departure was marked by political tensions, such as when he accused libertarian deputy María Pilar Ramírez of espionage.
In addition to this episode, Leticia Montiel left her position in the Secretariat of Legal and Technical Affairs, being replaced by José Grippo. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that Hernán Lombardi was appointed as the new head of the Ministry of Economic Development.
The macrismo has been described by some, like Milei, as a group of "republican uncles." The relationship between Pro and the libertarians has been tense, especially in the City of Buenos Aires. Although Jorge Macri has Mauricio Macri's support, he also faces opposition led by Ramírez.
Wolff's resignation came at a critical moment for Pro, which is experiencing a loss of power at the national level. His departure coincides with challenges complicating Jorge Macri's management as chief of government, in a context where some seek an alliance with Milei while others prefer to maintain the party's identity.
The political debate has intensified amid rumors of possible rapprochements between Pro and La Libertad Avanza. Wolff's departure has been interpreted as a conciliatory gesture towards the libertarian space, although the city government has attributed this move to a "tactical adjustment" ahead of the election campaign.
The competition for the same electorate in an increasingly polarized scenario has led to speculation about the future of the relationship between both political spaces. Despite the challenges and tensions, both Pro and La Libertad Avanza seek to consolidate their positions in the political landscape of Buenos Aires.
