“Being from Corrientes and belonging to a space in the province, and to other spaces, one ends up being part of statements that express the position of some of those who are in the note,” as stated in radio statements, where he maintained that feels “damaged” by the episode since, in his opinion, in his province the LLA voters “They are convinced that they are going to turn the election“.
“I am left in an unprotected situation. I am going to try to give clarity to those who are managing at the national level and continue working forward. This is part of politics. We know who they favor. I am working to make Milei president. Now they are going to come out and say atrocious things to me and I have nothing to do with a question of this type,” he said.

We, elected representatives of LA LIBERTAD AVANZA, and members of the political parties that comprise it, proud to be part of the rebirth of Liberalism in the Argentine Republic, were summoned by Javier Milei, with the understanding of modernizing the country’s political system, promoting the ideas of Freedom, the free market, the deregulation of the economy, in short, the productive and economic normalization of the country.

We respect the decision of our candidate for President to form an agreement with Together for Change, but we cannot accompany this change of course only for electoral purposes.
We remember that, during the presidency of engineer Mauricio Macri, decisions have been made, such as taking on the largest debt in Argentine history, mortgaging future generations, even those who have not yet been born. This makes it a point for us: MORALLY AND IDEOLOGICALLY IT IS OUR LIMIT.
We thank Javier Milei for having been part of the construction of a National space in record time, which has won a Presidential STEP and in its first presentation has managed to reach the Ballotage competing for the
first magistracy.
A DIFFERENT ARGENTINA IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE SAME ONE AS ALWAYS.
