Patricia Bullrich rejects 2027 presidential speculation and backs President Javier Milei

Argentina's security minister Patricia Bullrich said she is not a candidate for the 2027 presidential election, emphasizing that she is "accompanying a project and will keep doing so until the end." She rejected former President Mauricio Macri's suggestion that she was "launched" for a future candidacy and reiterated her political support for President Javier Milei.

Macri, speaking at the annual construction chamber event, noted Bullrich's rising profile but critiqued the quality of Milei's economic adjustment, calling the fiscal balance "important but of poor quality." The remarks come amid growing friction between Milei's libertarian coalition La Libertad Avanza and the PRO faction led by Macri, highlighted by recent Senate disagreements over the appointment of judge María Verónica Michelli. Bullrich dismissed speculation about internal splits, asserting the governing bloc must maintain parliamentary agreements to advance its priorities.
