BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Former Argentine presidential candidate Patricia Bullrich, who placed third in Sunday’s election, endorsed right-wing populist Javier Milei on Wednesday for next month’s runoff, a move that could rupture the country's main center-right opposition coalition.
“The country needs a fundamental change," Bullrich added, warning against a “continuation of the worst government in history.” Shortly after the news conference, Milei posted a cartoon drawing on social media that showed a lion hugging a duck. Milei’s supporters have dubbed him “the lion” while Bullrich’s backers often referred to her as “Pato” , a common nickname for Patricia.
Former President Mauricio Macri, who founded the PRO party, has spoken positively of Milei in the past, characterizing the support he received as a demonstration of how Argentines want change. “Coalitions, like political parties, are not designed to live forever,” Sanz said in a radio interview Wednesday.
Sen. Martín Lousteau, who is also a UCR leader, said that with their endorsement of Milei, Bullrich and Macri had decided to “abandon” the coalition.
