Following internal tensions, Bullrich is seeking to ease the strain with Javier and Karina Milei regarding the Adorni case.

After opening a new internal front, the leader of the La Libertad Avanza bloc in the Senate, Patricia Bullrich, decided to tone down her rhetoric and ease the tension generated by her criticisms of Javier Milei and Karina Milei for allegedly protecting Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni, who is under investigation for alleged illicit enrichment. "It was enough. We will have to wait a reasonable amount of time," said a leader close to the libertarian senator, days after demanding that the coordinating minister submit his sworn statement before the deadline. This position was poorly received by the libertarian leadership, which, according to at least three members of the political table, has accumulated complaints of various kinds against the legislator. In recent days, the main branches of the executive branch have rejected plans to address the "Clean Record" initiative outside of the electoral reform project sent to Congress, while others were hesitant to rule it out. Through his X account, PRO Senator Martín Goerling attributed the initiative to Bullrich and expressed openness to discussing the projects separately. The issue will be addressed this Tuesday at 4:00 PM in a new meeting of the political table, which will be held in the offices of the Ministry of the Interior, located on the ground floor of the Casa Rosada. "We haven't changed our minds. We designed a project that includes everything, but Patricia was not involved in its development, and she enjoys being in the spotlight," said sources close to the younger Milei, visibly annoyed. In the same vein, another official agreed that the government should address the reform "as the President wants it, and not as it suits each individual." The political table meeting included Karina Milei, Luis Caputo, Diego Santilli, Patricia Bullrich, Lule Menem, Martín Menem, Santiago Caputo, Ignacio Devitt, and Manuel Adorni (Presidency). The original project, announced by the president and with which the government plans to insist, includes the elimination of the Open, Simultaneous, and Mandatory Primary Elections (PASO), but also the modification of the party financing system and the inclusion of the "Clean Record" initiative as a "bait." "Everything that has not been agreed upon by the table does not represent the decision of the government as a whole. If it is decided tomorrow that the 'Clean Record' initiative will be removed, that is something else, but for now, that is not the case," said another member of the libertarian ecosystem that interacts with Congress. Despite the tensions generated by the clear differentiation, both the Mileis and Bullrich know that they need each other. The executive branch recognizes that the senator polls well; some electoral projections even place her favorably in the City of Buenos Aires, although they warn that her candidacy is not yet defined. For their part, in the Senate, they are aware that outside the government, the ground is more hostile. "No one is in a position to break away. At least for now," agreed an actor who is watching the scene from the outside, although he believes that Bullrich knows she has her own votes and is positioning herself. "Instead, it is more convenient to be a 'rational Milei supporter' than an 'anti-Milei'," he also hypothesized.

"There is still a long time until 2027. I am not in favor of exposing criticisms. This is like a soccer team: on the field, we all play for the same side; in the locker room, we talk about what needs to be said," said a "violet" legislator about the issue. In some factions of the diverse libertarian universe, the former minister is accused of having made secret agreements with PRO in view of the 2027 elections. However, other sectors of the same space do not buy into this theory and attribute the divisive actions to what they defined as the "opportunistic gene." "She has become too accustomed to changing sides," said a legislative ally. Something similar was stated by Fernando De Andreis, the deputy who publicly represents the position of former President Mauricio Macri, arguing that "the best thing Patricia could do for the country is to stop switching from one party to another."
