Milei Revives Provincial Tours as Government Pushes Electoral Overhaul

The travel plan signals a bid to gain leverage for a bill that would end party primaries.

Overview

  • Government sources say two stops in Buenos Aires Province are in play, with a party congress confirmed for October and a separate visit to the Greater Buenos Aires suburbs under review.
  • The reform package sent to the Senate on April 22 would eliminate PASO, which are open and mandatory primaries, tighten party rules, adjust paper ballot design, and change campaign financing.
  • Interior Minister Diego Santilli is leading talks with governors and allied blocs, as Tucumán’s Osvaldo Jaldo breaks ranks to defend the primaries.
  • The focus on Buenos Aires reflects its electoral weight and a plan to contest the 2027 governorship, reinforced by Karina Milei’s April 25 event in Suipacha with Santilli and Sebastián Pareja.
  • Milei’s 2026 travel log includes Santa Fe, Córdoba, Tucumán, and a January 27 stop in Mar del Plata, with several provinces still awaiting an official visit.
