"The priorities of my management will be the territorial deployment of the party, its institutional strengthening and the consolidation of its basic ideas: diversity, freedom and openness to the world." This is what Clarín Patricia Bullrich assured on Wednesday, being confirmed as national head of the PRO in replacement of the missionary senator Humberto Schiavoni.

The jump of the former Minister of Security to the cusp of the force that has just passed to the opposition, it is known, bears the copyright of Mauricio Macri, who clearly maintains the leadership of the party that he founded a decade and a half ago under the acronym invented by the famous recently deceased publicist Ernesto Savaglio.

Bullrich's name is at the top of the single list presented this Wednesday before the Party Electoral Board and will be officially proclaimed in ten days, once the legal deadlines for challenges are met, which few believe can be presented given the breadth of the agreement that covers most districts.

The distribution of charges makes it clear who won and who lost a force not accustomed to the inmates, after the last electoral commitment. Despite leaving power, Macri managed to locate Bullrich and the first vice president, Santa Fe deputy Federico Angelini . A sample of the weight that means 40% of the comeback after the "slap" of the STEP.

Another that will have a good share of internal power will be the reelected head of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta,. He placed Eduardo Macchiavelli, secretary of the City's Environment, as general secretary of the Board of Directors, a strategic position.

On the other hand, María Eugenia Vidal, former Buenos Aires governor, had to settle for minor positions. His former Minister of Security and current head of national deputies block, Cristian Ritondo, is a second member, while Senator Esteban Bullrich occupies the seventh locker of the vocalías.

The idea in the macrismo assembly was to prioritize leaders of districts where Together for Change won in October or in which the PRO was imposed in the district inmates to radicalism.

A major position will have the senator for Cordoba Laura Rodríguez Machad or -vice second- and her fellow colleague Alfredo de Angel will occupy a vocal.

“For me it is a pride and a responsibility to lead the PRO. I thank Mauricio Macri and I pledge to work for freedom, transparency, equal opportunities and progress and personal autonomy as engines of any positive change in society, ”said Bullrich.

He also indicated that "we will be strict opponents so that the institutional rules are complied with and that the State is not used for the benefit of a party, and we will help in matters that are needed, such as debt."

According to Macchiavelli, “everyone who shares our values ​​asks us to work together, not to loosen. That is why it is very important to have achieved a consensus and unified list. It is an unmistakable sign that we are together, working in dialogue at this new stage. ”

Angelini, who was head of the list of deputies who managed to reverse in the generals the backwardness suffered in the PASO, said that "it is a pride to occupy the position of vice president of @PROargentina. For a long time we have been working with @mauriciomacri @patobullrich @horaciorlarreta and leaders from all over the country to best represent the Argentines . "
