"End of a cycle": Leandro Santoro criticized the PRO (Project for the Promotion of Social Development) in the Buenos Aires debate and accused Javier Milei of "wanting to colonize CABA."

National deputy and candidate for Buenos Aires legislator, Leandro Santoro , participated in the Buenos Aires debate and took aim at the management of the PRO (Progressive Party of Buenos Aires) and Jorge Macri in the City of Buenos Aires , and at the national level of Javier Milei . Santoro rivaled the Buenos Aires ruling party and accused La Libertad Avanza of "trying to colonize the City of Buenos Aires ."

Santoro , who heads the Ahora Buenos Aires list, stated during his presentation: "We feel like the end of a cycle has arrived. Today, there's more business than management, and there's a competition to see who's the cruelest ." "I came to this debate to fight against the neglect that the City of Buenos Aires has suffered as a result of Jorge Macri's mismanagement. I also came to fight against the cruelty to which Javier Milei's government is subjecting us throughout the country," he emphasized.

At the beginning of the debate, Santoro took a stand against the candidates from PRO and La Libertad Avanza, who were engaged in an intense internal dispute over the failed electoral agreement. The representative referred to them without naming them and asserted that he would oppose "those officials who think they can govern poorly and lie to the people because it's free " and " those who think they know it all, are arrogant, haughty, and want the people of Buenos Aires to be held hostage by a political internal conflict that has nothing to do with the city ."

Later, Santoro directly crossed paths with Manuel Adorni, presidential spokesperson and candidate endorsed by President Javier Milei, and accused the libertarian space of "trying to colonize the City." " You walk down the street and see posters that say 'Adorni is Milei.' I want to tell you Adorni, Santoro is Santoro . I don't need to hide behind anyone and have them come to defend me because I live in this city and I defend it, that's why I want to be a legislator," Santoro emphasized.

In this intervention, the Kirchnerist candidate deepened his criticism of the Buenos Aires and national administrations: "I didn't come here to defend a cruel political project, I didn't come here to defend the interests of a group that only needs to colonize Buenos Aires City to lead the right, because all you're looking for is to destroy Mauricio Macri and keep everything for yourself." To conclude his response, Santoro concluded: "This election is not only about saying enough to Mr. Macri's abandonment, but also enough to Mr. Milei's cruelty ."
