After the approval of the 2025 Budget, Jorge Macri He met with Pro militants and spoke about his first year in office as head of the Buenos Aires Government. In a review of these first 12 months, he confirmed his good harmony with the government of JavierMiley but he assured that the party he represents is still standing and, in the midst of talks for a possible pact with La Libertad Avanza (LLA), he affirmed that “The City is not a currency nor the war booty of a national political agreement.”
“Some say the PRO was. We didn’t go. Here we are. Alive and kicking. And wanting to fight. I really want, I really want the President to do well. Because never in our lives do we bet on someone failing to have our place in politics. We wish you the greatest success. Because also if the country does well, this City flies. So we’ll be there. Giving a hand but also setting a limit”, held.
In the same week in which the departure of Diego Kravetz of the Buenos Aires Security Secretariat to be part of the SIDE and of various movements in his cabinet, the official insisted that if the national ruling party “comes for things” that for his administration constitute “a limit”, he will not cross it. Along these lines, he noted that “many times” he defended the President’s ideas, even though they cost him politically. “Because we believed they were in favor of the common good. With the same firmness we are going to say when it seems to us that there is no”, he reiterated.
In that sense, he raised slight questions about the use that the ruling party gives to the term “freedom”, one of the main flags that Milei raises. Although he defined it as “a divine word,” Macri noted that “freedom without content, without reason for being, is a hollow word.”
“To be free you have to be able to study, to be free you have to be able to move, to be free you have to be able to imagine a better future than now. That is being free. Not yelling, not growling, but giving people the tools to transform their daily lives.. “That is true freedom,” he added.
In the same way, he questioned those who believe that they “stole the flags” of his political force. “Some think that we are no longer the ones who come to change and they want to put us in the place of caste. And I want to tell everyone that the transformative, rebellious, honest, entrepreneurial and transformative spirit that the PRO has is still absolutely intact, it is alive and no one stole it from us. It remains deeply ours,” he emphasized.
In this scenario, he ratified his membership in the party led by his cousin, former president Mauricio Macri, and highlighted that the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires “deserves to be defended and respected for what it is.”
“They voted for me to defend it and I am going to defend it with my flag from the PRO. But the City comes first before other national discussions,” he emphasized.
