Menem backs Caputo, confirms Milei 2027 re-election bid, pushes PASO elimination

Chamber of Deputies President Martín Menem publicly endorsed Economy Minister Luis Caputo, dismissing rumors of his departure, and confirmed President Javier Milei will seek re-election in 2027. He also signaled La Libertad Avanza will seek electoral alliances with governors sharing their economic agenda and called for eliminating the PASO primaries. This consolidates the government's political strategy ahead of midterms and 2027, but the PASO elimination faces legislative hurdles.
