Mauricio Macri began a kind of political raid with several stops
this Wednesday afternoon in Rosario .
He first met with the Santa Fe governor
Maximiliano Pullaro
, one of the ten who make up the league of leaders of Together for Change and who was targeted by the Government after the fall of the omnibus law.
From there he will go to a
meeting with provincial presidents of the PRO,
on his route to the national leadership of the party, and then he will participate in an event of the Libertad Foundation.
It was a photo
of political weight that of Macri and Pullaro
, which had been managed in recent weeks and which has special relevance, taking into account the differences that the governor raised towards the management of Javier Milei and the natural affinity that exists between the former president and the current head of state.
However, an important link for the institutional link between Macri and Pullaro was the presence at the summit of the deputy governor and Santa Fe reference of the PRO,
Gisela Scaglia
.
The meeting was in the Rodolfo Walsh Room that the government has in Rosario.
Macri was honored by the governor, in an event that began around 4:30 p.m. and lasted about an hour.
Beyond having met during the Macri presidency, when Pullaro was Minister of Security of Santa Fe,
the differences in the profile of both were important
in recent years.
It should be remembered that the former president supported Carolina Losada's two candidacies, in 2021 for the Senate and in 2023 for the governorship, competing both times in an internal contest with the Hughes-born man, leader of the Radical Civic Union and sponsored by the senator. national Martín Lousteau.
What's more, Scaglia came to the formula with Pullaro with the support of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, while Macri and Patricia Bullrich, in mid-2023, supported the tandem that made up the radical Losada with the former president of the PRO, Federico Angelini.
In the PASO of Santa Fe, in July, Pullaro achieved an overwhelming victory over Losada, which he later validated in the September general election, when he was elected governor with 58% of the votes and gave the UCR control of the province after 60 years.

In Santa Fe, in addition,
Scaglia and Angelini are fighting for control of the provincial PRO
, which will renew authorities in September.
Although first, of course, there is the election of national authorities of the party, in which Macri is poised to assume the presidency, with the support of almost all sectors, with the exception of Rodríguez Larreta, who whitewashed his differences with the way the party conducts itself. former president, and Bullrich, current head of the party and Minister of Security of the Milei government, who will not run for re-election but who is also openly in conflict with Macri.
This context
forces Macri to obtain the support of all the provincial leaders of the party
he founded two decades ago.
In the meeting he had this afternoon there were going to be 18 district leaders of the space.
For example, provincial leaders such as Eduardo Caminal (Entre Ríos), Oscar Agost Carreño (Córdoba), Gabriela González Riollo (San Luis), Damián Garavano (Corrientes), Daniel Hollman (Chubut) and Aníbal Tortoriello (Río Negro) were expected to travel. ).
There will also be some leaders who signed a petition in favor of Bullrich and endorsing an eventual merger with the government of Javier Milei, such as Cristian Cunha from Santa Fe and Carlos Molina from Catamarca.
At night, meanwhile, he will be part of a meeting of the Rosario Freedom Foundation, a liberal space in which it is expected to mark new support for the president of the Nation.
In his last tweet, last Friday, Macri congratulated Milei for his speech at the opening of legislative sessions.
