PRO Breaks With Milei’s Party, Vows Case‑by‑Case Support Before February Congress Drive

The rupture follows a think‑tank report that faults institutional practices, stalled public works, rising insecurity.

Overview

  • PRO leaders declared they are no longer allies of La Libertad Avanza and signaled they will withhold quorum unless they back the agenda at hand.
  • Fundación Pensar’s “A mitad de Camino” review credits lower inflation and fiscal balance but says macro stabilization is insufficient without institutional and social progress.
  • The report cites a 20% rise in insecurity incidents in 2025 and flags shortcomings in anti‑corruption efforts, public works and higher‑education investment.
  • Tension escalated after a surprise deal to appoint Auditoría General de la Nación members during the Budget 2026 session and criticism of attempts to advance Supreme Court picks by decree.
  • Extraordinary sessions are expected in February with labor reform and changes to the Glaciers law on the docket, and the government is still likely to need PRO votes and quorum, as the party weighs provincial pacts against building a standalone 2027 option.
