President Javier Milei s La Libertad Avanza (LLA) Wednesday managed to get Senator Bartolomé Abdala from the province of San Luis elected Provisional Speaker of the Upper House. The lawmaker thus became second in line to the Casa Rosada behind Vice President Victoria Villarruel, who was praised for her political skills brokering a majority with no help from Peronism to garner 39 votes in favor of Abdala and 29 abstentions with no negative voices.
Her adversaries call her out on her Peronist youth past, but Patricia Bullrich always sticks to her guns. After defeating Horacio Rodríguez Larreta in the battle for the opposition coalition's presidential nomination, she must now overcome Javier Milei and Sergio Massa if she is to win the Casa Rosada.
With a turnout of 60%, the Argentine province of Santa Fe Sunday held its open, mandatory, and simultaneous primary (PASO) elections in which the opposition Unidos para Cambiar Santa Fe recorded a sound victory over the ruling Peronists.
