Crisis in the Buenos Aires PJ: Less than 2% of members are young and those over 60 predominate

The official register of the PJ in the province revealed a profound generational crisis of space in its main electoral stronghold.

The Justicialist Party (PJ) in Buenos Aires published its membership list this year, and the data presented reflect a profound transformation in the internal composition of space, where young people practically do not exist and there is a predominance of those over 60 years of age.

With a total of 1,151,640 members, the figures not only show the continuous loss of members, but also clear signs of a generational crisis that Peronism is going through in its main electoral stronghold.

One of the most striking facts emerges from the weight of young people in the register.

According to information released and shared on X by the user “EseesGuido” (Guido Mastrangelo, licensed by UADE), only 22,168 members are between 16 and 29 years old, representing only 1.92% of the total.

Another highlight of the report is the consolidation of a female majority within the party. 55.6% of members are women, compared to 44.4% of

men.

This trend is not only verified at the general level, but it is replicated in almost the entire territory of Buenos Aires: women are the majority in 117 of the 135 districts, and in no case does their participation fall below 44%.

On the other hand, in 50 districts of the province, members under 29 years of age do not even reach 1% of the total, despite the fact that this age group was historically considered the basis of youth spaces within politics.

The fact once again makes it clear that Peronism no longer attracts the attention of young people, in a context where this electorate became the pillar of support for La Libertad Avanza (LLA) and President Javier Milei, in search of a better future to end the country's decline.

In contrast, the PJ pattern shows a strong aging of the affiliate base. More than 50% of those enrolled are 60 years of age or older, with a total of 583,936 people within that age group. This is the largest group in the match

. It is followed by members between 45 and 59 years old, who number 377,769, and those between 30 and 44 years old, with 167,767.

The demographic structure makes it clear that the domestic political weight is concentrated in older sectors

In territorial terms, the register also makes it possible to identify the districts with the highest volume of members. La Matanza tops the ranking with 122 thousand members, followed by Merlo and La Plata. Among the top 10, General Pueyrredón is in ninth place, standing out as the only municipality outside the Conurbation and also governed by a force other than the

PJ.

Taken together, the data reflect a party with great difficulty in renewing itself, with low youth participation, a predominance of older members, and where women are the majority of members.
