Like Javier Milei, Elisa Carrió suggested that Mauricio Macri's "cycle" is over.

Former congresswoman Elisa Carrió came out this Monday to criticize Mauricio Macri's role and exposure during the PRO's 2025 Buenos Aires electoral campaign, and in this case, she strikingly agreed with Javier Milei. "We shouldn't force cycles; Macri was already president," she suggested.
"I have a very close relationship with the City of Buenos Aires, even though I haven't lived there for seven years. There are cycles, we shouldn't force them. Macri was already president, " the founder of the Civic Coalition remarked on CNN Radio , making it clear that Mauricio Macri's time in politics is over.
Despite agreeing with Milei on these criticisms of the current president of the PRO, Carrió predicted that the libertarian government "will end badly."
"Political violence doesn't end well, and economically everyone becomes an importer. We're going to have an invasion of Chinese products that will destroy Argentine industry," he warned.
Elisa Carrió criticized Mauricio Macri's role in the Buenos Aires elections.
Regarding Sunday's legislative elections, which were won by Manuel Adorni of La Libertad Avanza, Carrió argued that "there is a democratic decline marked by the absenteeism" of almost 50% of the electorate.
The Civic Coalition nominated national representative Paula Oliveto as its candidate for Buenos Aires City legislator. Carrió became involved in the campaign in the final stretch, accompanying her in some activities and appearing in the media, but it wasn't enough. Oliveto didn't reach the 3% minimum required to secure a seat in the Buenos Aires City Legislature.
Carrió also expressed her opposition to reaching an agreement with the government, as Manuel Adorni proposed in his victory speech on Sunday at the Libertarian Bunker. "We don't agree with the tabula rasa approach; we don't believe in what they think or how they act, but I respect democracy," she emphasized.

Returning to the topic of Macri, the former congresswoman was asked about the origins of the rupture in the relationship between the former president and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, who ultimately ran with his own party and finished in fourth place with 8% of the vote.
"I don't know what happened between them. This party (Together for Change) disbanded when there were two presidential candidates (Rodríguez Larreta and Patricia Bullrich), and I love them both. Mauricio never fully recognized the depth of Together for Change ; he was always criticizing the radicals," he reflected.
The founder of the Civic Coalition also criticized the political offerings in the 2025 Buenos Aires legislative elections , in which her party presented Paula Oliveto as the first candidate, although she failed to secure a seat after receiving less than 3% of the vote.
"The first thing I have to say is that there is a democratic decline. Absenteeism in the country is marking a decline in democracy," he analyzed regarding Sunday's elections.
And he added: "There is a democratic decline due to an induced fatigue in institutions , the propaganda of the various information channels leading to a decline in democracy. This is happening here, in the United States, in Brazil, and elsewhere, with a few exceptions, such as Uruguay."
Thanks to the more than 40,000 citizens who kept the flame burning, with 2.50% of the votes. And thanks to Paula for her dedication. Remember that only very few people will uphold the most basic values of humanity in the future. Words and truth will triumph…

Carrió attributed Adorni's 50% of the votes in Puerto Madero to "the money trail" because she considered it to be a "materialistic" government. "This will become increasingly ephemeral; this ends very badly . I thought the same thing happened during the Menem administration," she noted.
After learning the election results, Carrió shared a message for her followers. "Remember that only a very few people will uphold the most basic values of humanity in the future. Words and truth will triumph over money and sweet talk," she wrote on X.
