As the culmination of an internal building process, the youth wing of La Libertad Avanza is working on organizing the first national youth congress in the city of Rosario for early December. Unlike the activities they usually hold in the various provinces, the year-end event will bring together national leaders of the space.
The libertarian youth, organized behind the leadership of Sharif Menem, have extended the invitation to President Javier Milei and to officials such as the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei.
The idea of the event is to strengthen the party structure ahead of the 2027 presidential elections, particularly with the goal of securing another four years of Milei's administration. To that end, for weeks now they have been holding provincial congresses with the attendance of local leaders and with the intention of expanding the party's presence throughout the country's interior.
"The idea of these events is to show young people what they have and what they can do. Also, to prepare for next year, when we will have a fundamental role," argued one of the leaders of the libertarian organization.
With the date still to be confirmed but planned for the first weekend of December, La Libertad Avanza is aiming to close out a cycle of activities with the presence and closing speech delivered by the president.

As the culmination of an internal building process, the youth wing of La Libertad Avanza is working on organizing the first national youth congress in the city of Rosario for early December. Unlike the activities they usually hold in the various provinces, the year-end event will bring together national leaders of the space. The libertarian youth, organized behind the leadership of Sharif Menem, extended the invitation to President Javier Milei and to officials such as the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei. The idea of the event is to strengthen the party structure ahead of the 2027 presidential elections, particularly with the goal of securing another four years of Milei's administration. To that end, for weeks they have been holding provincial congresses with the attendance of local leaders and with the intention of expanding the party's brand throughout the country's interior. "The idea of the events is to show young people what they have and what they can do. Also, to prepare for next year, in which we will have a fundamental role," argued one of the leaders of the libertarian organization.

With the date still to be confirmed, but planned for the first weekend of December, La Libertad Avanza is betting on closing a cycle of activities with the presence and closing speech delivered by the president. From Milei's circle they have not yet confirmed his attendance, which is subject to the schedule of activities he will maintain during the last month of the year, although they guarantee the presence of Karina Milei, head of the party. In addition to the youngest of the Menems, the youth party-building task involves the leader Rocío Gómez and the libertarian influencer Iñaki Gutiérrez, along with youth coordinators from across the country. In the purple ranks they revealed to this outlet that the successive activities in the provinces pursue the intention of "gaining political muscle" and preparing the membership for the upcoming 2027 electoral campaign. After having held party events in more than 15 provinces, including Buenos Aires and Córdoba, this weekend the purple youth was in Corrientes alongside deputies Lisandro Almirón and Virginia Gallardo. "The kids changed their minds," read one of the banners displayed at the congress, alluding to a historic Peronist song that sought to showcase the building of its youth.

In the run-up to the December national congress, the schedule of visits also includes the presence of the space's youth next Saturday, November 21, in Entre Ríos, on Friday the 27th in Misiones, and on Saturday the 28th in Río Negro and Neuquén. What is striking about the youth gatherings is that they do not include the allies of presidential advisor Santiago Caputo, whose leaders say they were not invited. The party's decision to strengthen the youth organization is not random. In addition to pushing for Javier Milei's reelection and anticipating the tasks the sector will have in the upcoming elections, it also aims to compete with Las Fuerzas del Cielo for the representation of young people. After the marginalization of the celestial militants from the lists in the 2025 elections, the organization that answers to the advisor entered a stage of reduced activity. From the organization they hinted that they will resume the dynamic of meetings and activities within the framework of the 2027 electoral campaign. In the run-up to a new electoral year, the gathering planned for December will seek to bring together on a single stage the main youth leaders of the ruling party and to showcase the territorial deployment built over the past months. The gathering will also serve as a political signal within the space, at a time when the organization of the youth appears as one of the battlegrounds for leadership and representation of the libertarian universe.
