Although for now he denies that there is an agreement for the PRO representatives to be part of the cabinet if he wins. He also gathers support in Congress. On November 19, the libertarian and the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, will dispute in the electoral contest who will be Alberto Fernández’s successor.
“We have to improve our inspection capacity for November 19“Milei asserted, putting into words one of his main concerns following having denounced, although not formally, that in the PASO there was “fraud” and that votes were “stolen.”
