Elisa Carrió, leader of the Civic Coalition, said that the government of Javier Milei lacks a political strategy and institutional framework [1].
This critique highlights a growing rift between traditional democratic party structures and the unconventional governing style of the current administration. Carrió's assessment suggests that the lack of traditional political maneuvering may undermine the long-term stability of the government.
Speaking during an interview on the streaming channel Gelatina, which was later broadcast by TN, Carrió addressed the nature of the current executive's power [2]. She said that the administration possesses a form of legitimacy that differs from that of traditional democratic parties [1].
Carrió specifically targeted the government's approach to governance, stating, "In the government of Javier Milei there is no politics" [1]. She said that the administration operates outside the norms of institutional politics, a shift she believes separates the current leadership from previous political eras.
Beyond the current administrative style, Carrió offered a prediction regarding the future of the presidency. She said that Milei will not achieve re-election in 2027 [3]. This projection follows her criticism of government officials, including spokesperson Manuel Adorni, and former President Mauricio Macri [1].
Carrió suggested that while the public may be hesitant to return to the political past, the current reality has become intolerable for many citizens [1]. This tension, she said, creates a precarious environment for the administration as it moves toward the next electoral cycle [3].
“"In the government of Javier Milei there is no politics."”
Carrió's statements signal a strategic pivot for the Civic Coalition, moving from a position of potential alliance toward open criticism. By distinguishing between 'traditional legitimacy' and Milei's current mandate, she is framing the administration as an outlier to the democratic party system. Her prediction regarding the 2027 election reflects a belief that the administration's rejection of traditional political negotiation will eventually alienate the broader electorate.
