With Lospennato and the Macri, the PRO closed its campaign: it asked for the vote of the people of Buenos Aires and there was harsh criticism of Larreta and Bullrich.

In line with a high-voltage campaign, unprecedented because it was just a Buenos Aires legislative election, the PRO closed with an event in Villa Pueyrredón, before 2,500 people, which had Silvia Lospennato as the main speaker for being the main candidate on the list, but with cousins ​​Jorge and Mauricio Macri launching harsh criticisms of former leaders of the party and also the Government .

In an event that lasted just over an hour at the 17 de Agosto club in Villa Pueyrredón, the speakers were Lospennato, the Macris, María Eugenia Vidal, and Fernán Quirós . The basketball gymnasium was packed with 2,500 people who surrounded the leaders, who spoke from a platform located at midcourt.

The Macri party was optimistic about the election, and private sources in Uspallata were confident of a very competitive performance, despite the fact that most polls show Lospennato in third place, behind Peronist candidates Leandro Santoro and the government's Manuel Adorni.

The presidential spokesman was barely mentioned at the event: the main attacks were directed at Santoro as a representative of Kirchnerism, but especially at former PRO soldiers like Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Patricia Bullrich.

The one who hit the 2023 presidential candidates hard was Mauricio Macri, his former political boss. "The PRO is united, the PRO is standing again. I know for a fact, and we have publicly self-criticized, that the 2023 internal conflict was very damaging to our space, that the two candidates allowed themselves to be corrupted by ego and unbridled ambition, but they are both gone," he said. And he taunted them when they were mentioned: "Out, out, out, bad energy, bad vibes." The crowd applauded him and shouted "Mauricio, President."

The barbs at Larreta didn't end there. Jorge Macri took over when the time came, just before Lospennato's speech, and was very clear in his challenge to the former head of government from 2015 to 2023. Now he's running his own ticket.

"In these elections, legislators are elected. These candidates who present themselves saying they want to be head of government seem strange. They're basically saying, 'Give me two years while I prepare to compete in the next one,'" Macri countered.

And then he pressed him on. "You know what? If you want to be a legislator, go and be a legislator, brother. The mayor's race is in two years, and I'll be waiting for you there," said the current mayor, applauded by those present at the same club where four months ago he called for his cousin's candidacy in the October national elections.

The Macri cousins ​​had a situation that caused some tension, although it was later downplayed. "Are you making eyes at me?" Jorge asked Mauricio, when the former president seemed to be asking him to hurry up and finish his speech.

The star of the night, however, was Lospennato, who was cheered by the crowd. "Put some balls, Lospennato," they chanted, and she replied that "I'm going to put some balls into the election that I can't even imagine." Vidal had previously said, "We have the best candidate we could possibly have."

The current national representative, wearing a yellow T-shirt and jacket and trousers, insisted: "They wanted to confuse us by making us believe that this election is about national issues; if there's one voter who knows what this is about, it's the voter from Buenos Aires. They're not fooling us. This is a local election; neither Macri nor Cristina nor Milei are going to step down from their banners to sit in a seat in the Legislature."

He also spoke of a dirty campaign waged by the Buenos Aires opposition and left a final message about how Sunday's election will play out: "We'll decide: either Santoro and his Kirchnerist slate, or Adorni and his Phantom slate, or Lospennato and the PRO's yellow slate."

The closing ceremony was amidst pure music, with hits by Tan Biónica like "Noche Mágica," which sought to revive a certain "yellow" mystique, with Mauricio Macri dancing and the rest of the party singing along with jubilation. On Sunday, he faces the historic possibility of losing his first election after nine consecutive victories in the city he has governed since 2007.
