After an endless series of ups and downs, former President Mauricio Macri and current head of state Javier Milei understood that they must face the 2027 elections together, as a team. They made this clear in a friendly chat they held last Monday, during which they realized that the list that had Alejandro Fargo as a deputy and Patricia Bullrich as a senator obtained the same number of votes as they did separately last May. Milei understood that he must not discredit Macri's political path, which embodies the republican and moderate vote. And the former president understood that the current head of state is the one who leads the right in Argentina today. Both political leaders committed to joining forces to maintain power after 2027, not without guarantees, of course. This is why they will renew their closeness. The president also understood that any government, once in power, inevitably loses political capital and social support, which is why he fears that the 56% of the votes obtained in 2023 will be significantly reduced in the next presidential elections. This is where the former president will come into play, providing the support he will need to achieve a new term with a particularity: a parliamentary majority with which he could not count during these first two years of government. Although the issue is half-resolved thanks to the results of last Sunday's legislative elections, governments in general enjoy greater guarantees when they hold more seats in Congress. Macri and Milei, if they maintain an amicable relationship like the one they have maintained in recent days, will go on to share the leadership of the Argentine right, and even more so if Peronism does not find a common point of agreement that allows it to avoid the fragmentation of votes as could be seen in the last election, especially in the Buenos Aires province. Macri asked for a greater presence of PRO in the Cabinet and in government decisions. It is an idea to which Santiago Caputo (with whom, it should be clarified, Macri has a good relationship) resists and that does not please the General Secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei, who, in any case, is beginning to understand the need to make that alliance transparent. Javier Milei will seek a second term, and the explicit support of Macri will be fundamental to face a Peronism that is beginning to rearm after the shameful defeat it suffered last Sunday even in the Province of Buenos Aires. Both are targeting the central region of the country, so gestures towards provinces such as Córdoba, Mendoza, Santa Fe, Buenos Aires, and CABA can be expected towards the electorate, perhaps the 5 most important electoral districts. In addition, these gestures can be appreciated from Milei himself towards Macri after several insults he threw at him. 'Republican sissies' or 'too fragile' were expressions that did not go down well with the yellow electorate.
