Mauricio Macri is waiting, from Saudi Arabia, for the definition of the president of the Chamber of Deputies to see if moving forward in a co-government with the president Javier Miley or only let individual negotiations for specific charges progress. He wants, at all costs, for it to be Cristian Ritondohead of the PRO block.
In fact, Macri raised the issue in the last hours with his interlocutors that the future appointments of both the future Minister of Economy, Luis “Toto” Caputo –who was his minister of the area and also president of the Central Bank–, the Modernization Federico Sturzenegger (former president of the Macrista BCRA) like that of Patricia Bullrich in Security are given “in a personal capacity” and not within the framework of an expanded negotiation with him or with the PRO.
The biggest resistance to the yellow party joining Milei’s cabinet with its technical and political staff is that of Guillermo Francos, the Peronist elected as Minister of the Interior.
Francos works in several bands: he wants Florencio Randazzo presides over the Lower House instead of Ritondo, for whom Macri especially requested days ago, and on the other hand he resisted, even with epithets and personal disqualifications, to the PRO placing the Secretary of the Interior, that is, the vice minister of his area .
However, the president of the PRO had faced a negotiation parallel to that of Macri where she requested Defense for Luis Petri, the man from Mendoza who accompanied her as a candidate for vice, or for Federico Pinedo, and even tried to go for the Ministry of Human Capital that is coming driving Sandra Pettovello.
Neither Randazzo nor Pettovello, at the time of going to press, were confirmed by La Libertad Avanza in their places.
Hernán Lombardi, who is on good terms with the president-elect, also got involved and began conversations to manage the public media area and even the coveted schedule for a bullrichista. Everything is to be seen. Even more so if, as the libertarian proposed, he would hand over the chainsaw to media funds.
Another name that is heard is Fulvio Pompeo, former Macrista Secretary of Strategic Affairs, to support Diana Mondino in the Foreign Ministry. They both have good harmony.
However, Macri will return from Arabia next Tuesday. Before leaving he left a small piece of paper with names for the president-elect. Among them: Alejandro Finocchiaro for Education, just when it is in doubt that Martín Krause will finally be chosen for that area.
But first things first: the former president waits if Ritondo is ratified as president of Deputies to continue recommending officials. What’s more: with total secrecy he has put together a tweet where he denies a “co-government” in case Ritondo is not elected.
This entire scenario of agreements put other factions of the PRO on alert. For example, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and a group of deputies, including Silvia Lospennato and Álvaro González, among others, began to gather endorsements to displace Bullrich from the presidency of the party given that, they believe, she accepted to be a minister having a party position that represents everyone.
Today there are “hard” macrista sectors that want the former head of state himself to be the next head of the party he created, a place he never had since the first president of the PRO was the missionary senator Humberto Schiavoni and then his successor was Bullrich . That place had been offered, in 2019, to Vidal and Larreta, but neither of them wanted to occupy it, for different reasons. Will Macri accept Bullrich’s place?
