PRO Party to Discuss Future and Macri's Return in Buenos Aires

The PRO party will hold a National Council meeting in Buenos Aires to strengthen its structure and design its strategy for the 2027 presidential elections. The highlight of the meeting will be the return of former President Mauricio Macri, who will close the event with a speech of "strong partisan political content." The gathering takes place after the poor results obtained in the 2025 elections, where the PRO ran in the main districts allied with La Libertad Avanza and Provincias Unidas without the party seal that was Macri's main stronghold. The election left the bloc with reduced to 12 members from the 33 it had in the previous period. The macrismo aims to gather some 500 militants, deputies, senators, provincial legislators, and governors Ignacio Torres (Chubut) and Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos), in addition to Head of Government Jorge Macri, to deliberate on the party's future. The objective is to "rebuild the party identity" and begin to "strengthen electoral representation in municipalities and local governments to then move on to national candidacies." "We have to start from the bottom," a source told the Argentine News Agency about the idea among the main leaders to "rebuild the party identity" after suffering a strong shock from the capture of leaders by La Libertad.
