Axel Kicillof met with former leaders of Macrismo and advances his strategy of political openness

The governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, received former macrista leaders Emilio Monzón and Nicolás Massot at the headquarters of the Buenos Aires government, both with relevant backgrounds during the administration of Cambiemos.

Although the contacts between the parties are not new, the meeting marked a further step in political and symbolic terms, in the face of the presidential elections of 2027 and in the midst of the construction of an “anti-Milei” opposition front.

The meeting is also part of the strategy that Kicillof has been outlining to broaden his base of political support. In that sense, he had already publicly expressed the need to transcend the limits of traditional Peronism

.

“This movement was born out of Peronism, but we are clear that it is not enough only with Peronism or with the province of Buenos Aires,” he said in December, during an event in Ensenada that served as a launching platform for the Right to the Future Movement (MDF), with a national projection for the

2027 electoral scene.

Monzón and Massot, both Buenos Aires leaders, held key positions in Congress during the period 2015-2019. The first was president of the Chamber of Deputies, while the second served as head of the PRO block
