“It would not be the first time that they compare us with Peronism ,” said an important government source, extremely trusted by President Javier Milei , when this resemblance was mentioned to him after the official decision was announced that prepaid medicine companies their prices fell, amid the expectation of new downward inflation data.


In parallel, in the offices of the Ministry of the Interior, a group of officials continued working on setting up the La Libertad Avanza party at the national level, with the aim of achieving legal status before next year's legislative elections.

According to what LLA sources told Infobae , the general secretary is carrying out her own version of the “cultural battle”, trying to form a party that exceeds traditional political structures and that includes different sectors related to the ideas. libertarian. “ From the center to the right , anyone who wishes, as long as they share the same ideological north as us, is welcome to join the forces of heaven,” summarized a close collaborator of the head of state.

In fact, as recognized by some of the most influential government leaders, the intention is for La Libertad Avanza to be considered “a movement, more than a party,” relying on the support of a part of society to promote the reforms proposed by the Government. There is an echo of the first Peronism, in the middle of the last century.

In this sense, “the vision” of the current administration in the proselytizing field is that “more and more people who are outside the system join in ,” which was seen in the appointment of Martín Menem , with a short legislative career, as president. of the Chamber of Deputies and Gabriel Bornoroni , a businessman in the service station sector who just a few months ago was elected to his first public position, as head of the ruling bloc.
