The PRO referents were seen in the country Cumelén. This time, unlike December, there was a portrait, and a talk related to the assembly ahead of this year's elections.


Mauricio Macri and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta met on Tuesday evening in the country Cumelén, in Villa La Angostura, in a meeting that closed on Monday, taking into account the fact that both coincided in the city of Neuquén , where they spend their vacations.

The summit finally began at night, around 7:30 p.m., due to both of their commitments that postponed the meeting, which also included a dinner with their respective partners, Juliana Awada and Milagros Maylin.

Late at night the photo of Macri and Rodríguez Larreta together was released, after the meeting they had.

There was no portrait, for now at least, of the family dinner, unlike what happened with Bullrich's visit, that she was accompanied by her husband Guillermo Yanco, who appeared in the image that was disseminated on social networks .

Although practically no details about the content of the talk were released, sources close to both leaders explained that they discussed the strategy for the electoral year throughout the country, with the imminent election in La Pampa as the main course, in a STEP that will have Martín Maquieyra, a PRO deputy, as a candidate for Together for Change.

Larreta said: "We are united by the conviction that Argentina must be definitively changed and the responsibility to carry this change forward. In addition, we are certain that the time to do so is now, with a serious and sustained plan over time. They are 20 years working together, exchanging ideas and building a shared vision of the direction our country must follow".

In the talk, as expected, there would have been no specific mentions of his possible presidential candidacies.

Although he did not formalize it, Rodríguez Larreta is launched and awaits a nod from Macri, which endorses his candidacy.

But it is not yet known if the former president will decide to compete, or express clearer support for Bullrich or María Eugenia Vidal, the other PRO leaders who internally sign up to fight for PASO in Together for Change.

Larreta's visit was a preview for Macri of the trip he will make with Miguel Pichetto to La Pampa this Thursday, in support of Maquieyra's candidacy, before the aforementioned Pampas election on February 12.

That first electoral test takes a lot of strength within the PRO, especially for those who believe that it would be a key kick for Maquieyra to achieve a good performance in the PASO, which can underpin other subsequent elections in the busy 2023 calendar.

The former president will continue for at least one more week in Cumelén, where he has been staying since the end of last year.

From there, he concentrated a good part of his political agenda, with a meeting with Rodríguez Larreta at the end of December, of which the content of what was discussed was not revealed, plus the one he had with Bullrich on Monday of last week.

On Tuesday, in advance of the meeting with Larreta, Macri published a curious message on Instagram, in which he quoted the speech of the musician Adrián Maggi at the Cosquín Festival, in which he speaks of "the singer must be free".

Rodríguez Larreta, meanwhile, spent the last few days touring the south with Maylin, on vacation, but also taking advantage of activities related to politics.

For example, in La Angostura he met with victims of attacks by pseudo-Mapuche groups and questioned Kirchnerism for "protecting Facundo Jones Huala", the Mapuche activist arrested in recent hours in Río Negro and who is expected to be extradited to Chile.
