Milei is playing hard in the Argentine capital and is nominating his spokesman.
March 30th Buenos Aires City election lists close, major parties focus on this district. Milei announced presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni as his main candidate. Separately, amidst Europe's rearmament, Spain supported a European Army's creation. Argentina's capital votes May 18th to define its local legislature's new composition, a nationally significant election. Major political groups designate leaders to compete in the country's wealthiest district. Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni's designation as Milei's candidate ruled out an electoral alliance with PRO, which supports the national government and governs the City since 2007. "Buenos Aires City is the country's capital, representing 7% of national voters. This election is notable because many competing figures have national projection," said political analyst Gustavo Marangoni on Cara o ceca. "Jorge Macri [City's Head of Government] will find controlling the Legislature harder than the past two years. PRO won't govern the City with the comfort of the previous 18 years. With three dominant forces, it will be more difficult, as polls don't indicate his preponderance," he added. Spain supported creating a European Army and announced a national plan to boost the defense industry. Spanish President Pedro Sánchez proposed a European Army of the 27 EU member states' armed forces. He also proposed developing a common European security and defense policy with unique financing instruments, as done during the pandemic with sanitary material. "Sánchez's proposal received much criticism from other countries because they think it's a very advanced step, where it's already proven difficult. Technically, the armaments and logistics of different armies are very incompatible," commented Adrián Zelaia, geopolitical analyst and director of EKAI Group, on Cara o ceca. "Europe debates its security because it needs to increase the defense budget to face a possible threat within five years. But they also raise it because there is political nervousness in the European elite due to Russia's possible victory in the conflict with Ukraine and the advancement of Trumpism," he added.
