This Sunday, March 26, Mauricio Macri used social networks to report that he will not be a candidate in this year’s elections. The announcement did not go unnoticed in the Government, which reacted with irony to the criticisms that the ex-president made once morest the current management. In this sense, the presidential spokesperson, Gabriela Cerruti, was the first to speak on the matter.
“I share with all of you the certainty that Argentina today is in a difficult state to recognize, we’re adrift without driving, cut off from the world, alone. The anguish that this situation produces is located in the middle of the chest,” Macri said in the video in which he canceled his candidacy.

In response, the spokesperson for the Presidency echoed the words of the former president. Almost two hours following the announcement, Cerruti’s message constitutes the Government’s first reaction to Macri’s announcement. In this sense, the official referred only to the sayings that Argentines are “isolated from the world.”
Through social networks, Cerruti shared photos of various activities of President Alberto Fernández together with his peers from Brazil and France, Lula Da Silva and Emmanuel Macron, respectively, as well as official photos of G20 meetings and the Celac summit. The publication was accompanied by the text “Isolated from the world. Good Sunday!“, ironically replicating Macri’s words.

Added to this, it included confirmation from the White House that Alberto Fernández will be received by his American counterpartJoe Biden, next Wednesday, March 29, as part of the celebration of “200 years of bilateral relations” between the two countries.
“The presidents will discuss how the United States and Argentina can continue to partner to address global challenges, and continue to build progress in areas of mutual interest, including critical minerals, climate change, space and technology. They will also discuss international cooperation, while sharing values of inclusion, democracy, and protection of human rights,” details the statement that Cerruti shared in response to Macri’s notice.
With the closing of the lists scheduled for June 24, Macri leaves almost 90 days ahead for the PRO intern to be ordered and for the already established candidates, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, Patricia Bullrich and María Eugenia Vidal, can compete for leadership without the shadow of the founder of PRO on their backs.
Precisely, Macri’s decision not to be a candidate this year, a position in which Larreta and Bullrich always justly trusted on the countless occasions when they were asked regarding the subject, will allow progress in internal alignments in order to place referents and militants of the PRO on one side or the other of the PASO.
