He Debate of candidates for Buenos Aires legislators Rumbo to the May 18 elections developed with cross and Chicanas accusations among the representatives of PRO, Silvia Lospendato, And freedom advances, Manuel Adorniwho tried to occupy the center of the scene and pressed to polarize the discussion, while the Peronist Leandro Santoro He remained away from that discussion and pointed to both macrismo and libertarians.
For its part, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta He was critical of the management of the Head of Government Jorge Macriwhile Ramiro Marra He focused on public order and proposed to Adorni to join Kirchnerism, but did not receive an answer. The event was organized by the Institute of Electoral Management (IGE) and transmitted by the City channel. The 17 candidates for Buenos Aires legislator who head the fronts that will compete in the May Compulsa participated.
The debate, dispersed and without depth on local issues, extended for three hours. Start, Adori tried to mark the court to Locking. Not only was he presented as “President’s spokesman Javier Milei”, but tried to nationalize the debate. He highlighted the reduction of the fiscal deficit and assured that the Milei government is “fulminating inflation.”
“We end with thousands of currese in politics and pickets. The only model that is proven to stop to Kirchnerism is us,” said Adorni, who alluded elliptically to the defeat of Mauricio Macri In 2019, which enabled the return of Peronism to power. Santiago CaputoMilei’s powerful advisor, listened to him from the stands destined for the guests of the candidates. At admission he had a crossing with a photographer.
In the minute he had to appear before his competitors, Lockingthe candidate chosen by the Macri for the crucial duel with the libertarians in the capital, He tried to municipalize the discussion and exhibit Pro as the only reliable alternative to defend the city of an advanced Kirchnerism.
For example, he mentioned that the hydraulic works, the construction of the subway H line H and the improvement of Public education or the creation of the City Police. “With the conurbano, an avenue separates us, the big difference is that on the other side governs Kirchnerism and here manages the pro”stressed the pine María Eugenia Vidal.
Thepennate opened the exhibitions of the thematic axis and He had to answer questions from Adorni, Ramiro Marra and Marcelo Peretta. When making its proposal, it focused on a project to lower taxes to those who hire over 50 years and in a preferential mortgage credit line for children under 35 years. And he promised to harden the penalties with which they vandalize public space and the “most strict tab” of Argentina. They speak of a “recharged” project that includes all crimes with prison sentences.
Then, Adorni dedicated a battery of Chicanas. He told him that the pickets ended at the Buenos Aires center thanks to the management of national ministers Patricia Bullrich (Security) y Sandra Pettovello (Capital Humano). Specifically, he asked for a self -criticism for the victory of Alberto Fernández in 2019. “What did they do wrong to make Kirchnerism?”asked.
Thepennato picked up the glove. First, he said that, beyond the result of the May 18 election, PRO will continue to “accompany the economic course” of the government in Congress. However, he told him that “If there is an antikirhnerist force in Argentina and that knows this city, it is pro.”
“Manuel, the truth that I find it hard to see you standing in that lectern, hear you say that you were the ones who won to Kirchnerism,” thepennate reproached you. In turn, she said that she represents the only Pro List in the capital and threw a dart on Larreta: “Horacio left the party and in this election competes against Pro”.
Santoro as a strategy to mark the failures of the management of Jorge Macri and condemn The “cruelty” of the Milei model. The challenger who planted Peronism to face macrismo pointed to two bands: Milei and the Macri. “We come to fight against officials who believe they can rule badly and lie to people, but also the superb, who believe they know them all. We come to Defend the Public University, Del Garrahan, the Colón Theatertolerance and democracy, ”said Santoro.
The candidate who heads the surveys put the focus on the concessionary companies of the city. He proposed to create one Investigative Commission To control all companies that have contracts with the Buenos Aires government, as happened with the crane service.
“Isn’t you ashamed to be Kirchnerist?” Adorni snapped when he had to interrogate Santoro. The front candidate that groups the various branches of the PJ and La Cámpora He accused him of wanting to hide behind Milei. “Santoro is Santoro,” he replied. In that context, he warned that the Milei brothers want to liquefare Macri in the capital to consolidate their national power project.
“They will apply the chainsaw to generate pain and cruelty. They want a model that is capable of closing palliative care programs for cancer patients,” he reformed. And he finished off with his campaign slogan: “This choice is to say enough to the abandonment of Mr. Macri and enough to Milei’s cruelty”.
Santoro tried to bother Adorni when he asked for his opinion on the granting of the Gigena walka business that linked to the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, and Santiago Bausili, head of the BCRA. “It’s strange that you talk about businesses as Alberto’s guitar partner [Fernandez]”, Adorni launched immediately, he reminded him of the damage to the confinement decreed by the pandemic of the Coronavirus and the VIP vaccination. “That Kirchnerism speaks of business is surreal”said the presidential spokesman.
Of the debate also participated Lucille “Lula” Levy (Radical evolution), Paula Oliveto (CC), Luca Bonfante (Left Front), Ricardo Caruso Lombardi (MID), Juan Abal Medina (Let’s be free) and Alejandro kim (Principles and values), among others.
Behind the lectern, Larreta dedicated harsh criticism to the management of Jorge Macri. For example, he said that the Buenos Aires chief does not have a new work “to show. And he appealed again to the memory of his curriculum As a municipal manager. “That’s why I want to be head of government again, because I learned”He said.
In addition, he stressed that Jorge Macri lost the support of the UCR, the CC or public confidenceex -pro in JXC. “He who stayed alone is Jorge; I am with the neighbors,” he said.
In terms of proposals, he emphasized security and asked “Duplicate the number of police in the streets”. He talked about building more schools and advancing with the works to get the barriers from the Sarmiento train.
Marraon the other hand, Avoid confronting with adorni. In fact, he highlighted his crusade against Kirchnerism or the left nationwide. At all times he tried municipalize the discussion. “I have a hard agenda. I am giving a cultural battle that is important,” said the candidate of the Ucedéwho promised to seek legislative agreements.
Bonfante, who replaced Vanina Biasihead of the FIT list, which suffered a pneumonia picture, used its presentation to Chicanar Adorni, candidate for lla. “I celebrate that Adorni has come, because today is 29, on the day of the ñoqui”ironized.
“The city debate” He had a rigid format that led to the presentation of legislative proposals and prevents the crossing between applicants, although there were minimal instances of exchange. Each candidate presented his initiative and answered questions from another participants.
In the final stretch of the debate, Adorni launched a hard offensive against the management of PRO. He said that the management was “stagnated” and accused the macrismo of having increased the size of the state in “disproportionately” and having increased the tax pressure. He also chicanea to macrismo for the funds he allocated to maintain the city channel.
“Later or later, Kirchnerism will win the elections, the only way of this is to take Milei’s model to the whole country”he pointed out. In that sense, Adorni promised to reduce the Buenos Aires state, reduce political spending and tax burden.
At the time of the questions, Marra raised him if he was willing to join forces to face Kirchnerism. Adorni eluded a concrete response to the invitation made by one of those banished by Karina Milei.

Archyde Exclusive: Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Elena Vargas on the Buenos Aires Legislator Debate
Welcome to Archyde! We’re delighted to have dr. Elena Vargas, a renowned political analyst, to discuss the heated debate among candidates for Buenos Aires legislators ahead of the crucial May 18th elections. Dr. Vargas, thank you for joining us.
Thank you for having me. Its a pivotal moment for Buenos Aires,and the debate certainly highlighted the key issues.
The Main Battlegrounds: PRO vs. Freedom Advances vs. Peronism
The debate seemed to be centered around three main factions: PRO, led by Silvia Lospennato, Freedom Advances, represented by Manuel Adorni, and Peronism, with Leandro Santoro.Could you break down the core strategies we observed?
certainly. Lospennato and PRO tried to focus on municipal issues, positioning themselves as the best option to defend the city from an advancing Peronism, highlighting their past achievements.Adorni, though, focused on national issues, emphasizing the Milei government’s successes and attempting to polarize the discussion. Santoro, conversely, positioned himself as a critic of both, highlighting issues like the “cruelty” of the Milei model and the failures of Jorge Macri’s management. This is a perilous strategy, because the candidate knows they will lose.
Polarization Tactic’s and accusations: The Debate Dynamics
It appears the debate was quite tense,with accusations and cross-chicanas. How did this impact the discussion of relevant local issues?
The constant back-and-forth between adorni and lospennato, and even Adorni versus Santoro, certainly overshadowed the local issues. Adorni’s strategy was clearly to nationalize the discussion and link PRO to past failures – creating an fascinating paradox – while Lospennato and Santoro attempted to hold their ground while pointing out his strategy.
The Role of Key Figures and The Impact of The Absent
Several figures, like Horacio rodríguez Larreta and Ramiro Marra, participated or had an impact. How would you assess their interventions?
Larreta’s criticism of Jorge Macri and his proposals could influence the public perception of Macri’s management. Marra’s focus on the national stage, and more importantly, not colliding with Adorni, suggests a strategic alignment, or at least the intent to avoid conflict. It’s important to note the absence of key figure Vanina Biasi, who was replaced due to illness.
Central themes and the future direction of the campaign
The debate highlighted several major themes, including public order, economic management, and the role of the state. What do you see as the most important takeaways for voters?
The focus on public order and economic strategies suggests these will be central to the campaign. The debate also underscores the importance of the electorate to consider the positions and strategies of the different candidates.This is going to become increasingly opposed.
The Final Stretch and the crucial Duel
The race is now narrowing toward the end. What do you anticipate will be the key strategies for the candidates and what outcomes do you predict after the 18th?
I predict we will see an increase in attacks and claims, the candidates will be more aggressive in their strategies. Their aim will be to appeal to the voters with their specific and unique visions. I expect PRO to continue trying to municipalize the discussion, while Freedom Advances may try to double down on accusations against PRO or Santoro. the 18th elections may be critical in setting the future of Buenos Aires.
Question For our viewers
Dr. Vargas, this has been a very insightful analysis. Now, in order to expand the discussion, we would like to know what is your biggest takeaway from the debate, and who do you support, why?
Thank you, I hope the viewers enjoyed this discussion; I think that even though the candidates seem to have clear-cut positioning and are using their strengths to dominate, they have to take into account the othre candidates’ points of view, as the elections are just around the corner.
Thank you, Dr. elena Vargas, for your expert insights. We at Archyde appreciate your time.
The pleasure was all mine.
