in a conversation with Channel Epolitical analyst, Gustavo Damian Gonzálezassessed the future of the PRO, the negotiations between Mauricio Macri and Javier Millei, and the political challenges facing the government before the governor and parliament.
PRO between autonomy and dissolution
for gonzalezPRO is at a defining moment in its history. “Professionals define their important time” he said, recalling the party.He was born in the autonomous city of Buenos Aires, grew up to become nationalized and held a major position in the country, but today his power seems to have disappeared.”.
The analyst explained:Mauricio Macri wants to maintain his professional identity and at the same time play in conjunction with La Libertad Avanza”, but acknowledged that the force created by Macri faces a dilemma.If he remains an independent, he could be removed from the electoral map. If you align yourself with Millais, you will lose your identity.”.
In that line, gonzalez He noted that the party faces a loss of political space due to the rise of libertarians.The same voters who vote for La Libertad Avanza will vote for the PRO, leaving little room for it to survive as an autonomous force.”.
Asked about the recent meeting between President Macri and President Javier Millei, an analyst believed that the ties between the two leaders were:Not having the best moments“.After the meeting, he recalled:”Macri joked about leaders who can’t discuss different points of viewAccording to Gonzalez, “this gesture…highlighted the political distance between the two”.
Governance, dialogue, and the missing photos
Regarding governance, analysts warned:The government does not have a quorum of its own and will never have one. Because we’re running out of congressmen and even more senators.In that context, he argued that:Being guilty of arrogance would be the central government’s worst mistake. Every time the central government comes into conflict with all kinds of people, the law either fails or stalls.”.
gonzalez He stressed the need for Millais to open wider negotiating channels.The president’s step is to dialogue not only with the PRO but also with Peronist governors and Kirchnerists if he wants to advance important legislation such as appointing members of the Supreme Court.”.
Regarding relationships with local leaders, interviewees distinguished three groups:There is no dialogue with black people like in Buenos Aires or La Rioja. Gray people I can agree with. And white people are already allied with the government.In that sense, he emphasized the role of Diego Santilli. ”Your mission is to reach agreement with the governor to approve sensitive legislation such as budgets and tax reform.”.
When asked about recent things, he said,photographRegarding the government with 20 governors, González said:Politics isn’t a photo, it’s a movie” he explained.As long as the economy is working, governors will be more sympathetic. But as the presidential election approaches, coordination will become more difficult.”.
Finally, in analyzing the debate surrounding the 2026 budget, he argued:“Tax and labor laws will be more complex, but they will be approved,” he said, stressing that the government “no longer has room to govern without consensus.””.
