The possibility of a new, more formal agreement between Mauricio Macri's PRO and Javier Milei's La Libertad Avanza caused a political stir, especially within each of these spaces.
But beyond those internals,
how do people see it?
This Wednesday Clarín
accessed a
national survey
that addressed the issue.
It was made by
Reale Dallatorre Consultores (RDT)
, a firm with origins in Mendoza and a pioneer in measurements on social networks.
On the 10th and 11th of this month, it surveyed
811 cases throughout the country
to address the issue.
And the
results
were
distributed
, in
fairly similar thirds
, between those who thought it was "good", those who thought it was "bad" (for different reasons) and those who thought it was "the same".
Although it is still not clear what this eventual pact would be like (whether more focused on parliament or with important positions in the Government),
RDT
's question pointed to a total merger as political parties.
"Do you think it's good or bad that the PRO and the Libertarians merge (formally join) and form a new political party?"
, the consultant inquired, with a proposal that inevitably projects the negotiation to the electoral aspect.
31.6% thought it was "good" because "they think alike." While 27.9% thought it was "bad": 15.3%, because "La Libertad Avanza should not mix with traditional parties"; and 12.6%, because "the PRO must be preserved as an alternative to power."
They completed 29% who don't care, because I don't like either of them;
and 11.7% "don't know."
If the hard core of support for Milei is reviewed in electoral terms, taking into account the result of the PASO and the first round, the 31.6% that support an agreement is similar to that flow.
In any case, it is advisable not to rush.
As
Clarín
said , beyond the initial impact of the door that Milei reopened with her statement to this newspaper, both sectors were later cautious about the times.
On the PRO side, Macri warned that he must first meet with Patricia Bullrich to organize the internal party, which has elections in March.
On the Government side, although Milei originally thought of a "powerful interbloc" before March 1, when the ordinary sessions in Congress open, later government sources were more cautious with the timing and assured that they did not have deadlines to move forward.
Pros and cons of the agreement
Regarding the pros and cons of an eventual agreement between the PRO and Libertad Avanza,
Martha Reale ,
RDT
analyst
, said that the approach is logical because "it is clear that they share a good part of the electorate, which has a similar vision of the country." ".
Other analysts warn, however, that with a merger
Together for Change would lose its strength as an alternative power
and that would leave Peronism as the main variant, in case Milei's government does poorly.
The impact on the purest public of libertarians, who precisely renounced this type of more caste agreements, is also not so clear.
