Patricia Bullrich
spoke this Saturday about an eventual officialization of an agreement between La Libertad Avanza and the PRO in a common party alliance, for which Javier Milei has already given instructions to his advisors.
The Minister of Security expressed that the rapprochement with the libertarian space occurred
"almost naturally"
and highlighted that, during the campaign for the 2023 elections, the PRO had more points of agreement with the libertarian than with Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, his competitor within Together for Change.
"You notice how history comes back, right? We had talked with Milei about an agreement well before the elections. Afterwards we stayed in Together for Change, he advanced with La Libertad Avanza and La Libertad Avanza won and we accompanied him in the runoff," recalled the national official.
"That is to say," he remarked, "that the confluence
had already been an almost natural alliance with the PRO and other sectors of JxC."
He said that at that moment they did not dare to "take the step" and pointed to Larreta.
"We had made a good choice in 2021, but it was clear that we
were much closer to Milei's ideas than to Rodríguez Larreta's ideas
, without insulting or belittling him but as an objective description," he expressed on radio Rivadavia.
And he continued to distance himself from the former head of Government of the City of Buenos Aires.
"These are ideas that today are represented in his own statements, when he says 'I want consensus'.
But what consensus? The consensus that leads you to have a law voided and you end up in the same place you wanted to start from, or worse".
The day Bullrich said that Larreta would be his chief of staff.

He once again referred to the formalization of space with La Libertad Avanza.
"This coalition, fusion, convergence, does not have a name yet, it is the idea that precedes the organization. Then we will see how it is organized, if it is a single party, in two parties if it is a parliamentary coalition," Bullrich added.
In any case, he did not want to rush: he stressed that for it to become official, "we still have to talk to all the levels of each of the sectors."
"The important thing is that the idea is on the table," he remarked and expressed that "with (former President Mauricio) Macri we are going to reach a successful conclusion in the PRO and many sectors of Together for Change (JxC) that want to join."
Furthermore, he maintained that the coalition between the two political sectors "is not a matter of structures, but of ideas."
"The convergence was made by the people,"
he stated about an agreement between the two sectors and reiterated that "it is not an agreement of positions, it is putting forward the idea that the people have already voted more strongly."
"The idea is that those of us who embrace a change want to free Argentina from those mafias that prevent everything. That is the Argentina that has to show itself and that has to unravel. Those are the ideas of change and freedom. The agreements They are not for positions, they are not for political spaces, they are for the need to bring together the spaces for transformation," said Bullrich.
According to Clarín, Milei has already given the green light to the agreement with the PRO and anticipated that he will be "very generous" with Macri's party.
In that sense, he questioned a phrase that was circulated in Kirchnerism, according to which Cristina Kirchner praised the libertarian.
To his intimates, the President told them that the former vice president's alleged statement is intended "for the Republican purists of the PRO to distance themselves" from him.
"And so that I eat the curve for the praise and think that I don't need anyone and not close the agreement," he added.
