Milei toured investments in Bahía Blanca with Santilli and added a political gesture toward 2027
The President visited industrial projects in the Bahía Blanca hub accompanied by Diego Santilli and Karina Milei. The day also included an activity with La Libertad Avanza activists in the province of Buenos Aires.
Javier Milei visited the Bahía Blanca industrial hub this Friday together with Diego Santilli and Karina Milei, in a day that combined tours of private investment projects with a political activity by La Libertad Avanza in Buenos Aires province.
According to Radio Mitre, the first stop was at Compañía Mega, made up of YPF, Dow and Petrobras, where an expansion of the natural gas processing complex was presented under the Large Investment Incentive Regime, with a planned investment of US$365.4 million. During the visit, Milei toured the facilities, spoke with workers and attended a presentation on the hydrocarbon expansion and export plans.
C5N added that at that plant the delegation was with Tomás Córdoba and Horacio Marín, head of YPF, and that the project foresees 770 direct and indirect jobs and a 27% increase in the complex’s processing capacity.
The agenda also included a flyover of land where Pampa Energía is planning a new industrial investment. Radio Mitre mentioned that tour without further details, while C5N noted that the future urea plant was reviewed there, with an estimated investment of US$2.700 million.
In addition, the delegation stopped by Louis Dreyfus Company, which plans to allocate US$400 million to a soybean and sunflower processing plant in Bahía Blanca. According to C5N, that review took place in Puerto Galván.
After the investment-related activities, Milei and his entourage held a meeting with libertarian activists in the city center. Radio Mitre described that activity as a starting point for the ruling party’s campaign in Buenos Aires province with an eye on 2027.
Both outlets highlighted Santilli’s central role in La Libertad Avanza’s Buenos Aires political structure. Radio Mitre said the President publicly pointed to him as his main reference for the province, while C5N indicated that his name appears as one of the options for a gubernatorial candidacy.
