Karina Milei gathered Buenos Aires legislators from La Libertad Avanza (LLA) and reaffirmed the independent organization of her space ahead of 2027. The meetings, with deputies and senators, took place in two consecutive sessions at the Casa Rosada. The encounters occurred nearly a month after the national party president gathered the Milei supporters' legislators from Buenos Aires. The Presidential Secretary was accompanied by the head of LLA Buenos Aires, deputy and strategist Sebastián Pareja, and the Secretary of Communication and Press, Fabián Fernández. "Karina gave us all the support to fight what we have to fight, which is the province of Buenos Aires," Pareja said in an interview with accredited journalists at the end of both meetings. Although initially the presence of Diego Santilli was expected, who aspires to a gubernatorial candidacy next year, the Chief of Staff was not present due to scheduling conflicts, as he attended a YPF board meeting, where he assumed as the representative of the national government, honorary. This is a role previously held by other Chiefs of Staff. Santilli is the main name from the ruling party rumored to lead the LLA ticket in Buenos Aires province in the upcoming elections. His alignment with the Milei brothers and his performance in the mid-term elections at the national level, where he had to replace José Luis Espert at the last moment and managed to overcome a tough challenge, make him a very likely candidate. Karina Milei, Pareja, and the Press Secretary, Fabián Fernández, this Monday at the Casa RosadaPresidency of the NationAlthough, according to what LA NACION learned, neither the issue of candidacies nor the format for the upcoming elections were topics of discussion with the legislators. Instead, they talked about "planting" ideas for the space ahead of 2027. The possible elimination of the PASO was also discussed, included in the political reform the government seeks to address in Congress. Regarding Buenos Aires province, there is a strong conviction within the ruling party of winning about 67 districts in the province, where they should go in agreement with Pro and the Radicals, depending on the district. According to the organization arranged for both meetings, at 3 p.m. the members of the Upper House had their space, and at 5 p.m. those of the Lower House. According to reports after the meeting, Karina Milei thanked the legislators for "the work they have been doing to reflect the national agenda at the provincial level." Regarding legislative activity, she lamented the small number of sessions held this year in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, "due to the lack of consensus within the provincial government." The general secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei, received today the provincial legislators of La Libertad AvanzaPresidency of the NationIn both meetings, the main demands and claims of the people in the province were discussed, with security as one of the main issues. In this context, the work of the Security Table promoted by LLA was reviewed, where projects such as the use of taser guns by municipal police and the prohibition of cell phone use in provincial prisons are being developed, taking as reference the measure implemented at the federal level. The situation of IOMA was also discussed, based on a project being worked on by both chambers. Lastly, electoral reform in Buenos Aires province was addressed. "The goal is to inform how legislative and political work is progressing, and what strategy is being planned for the future in the Province," conveyed from the violet camp. The Buenos Aires territory is the main electoral district in the country, with almost 40% of the register, so the ruling party closely monitors what might happen there. In the last mid-term elections, two completely different scenarios occurred. While the Peronist party decisively won the provincial elections, just over a month later, in the national contest, the ruling party reversed that result. Alongside the Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires City scenarios, where rumors of a possible agreement with Pro grow, the government is also beginning to look at what might happen in about ten provinces where they are hopeful about reaching agreements ahead of the 2027 elections.
