Gustavo Petro and Axel Kicillof.
“I am meeting with the mayor of Buenos Aires Kicillof, who will possibly be president of Argentina to get it out of its collapse.

.
The drug addict Colombian president also projected Kicillof as the future president of Argentina, “to get it out of its collapse”, despite having been precisely part of the governments that were responsible for destroying it.

State.” Petro's message.
In the meeting with Petro, Kicillof noted that they analyzed “the challenges faced by Latin American countries in this context of global instability and the importance of building alliances for the well-being of our peoples, especially in the face of threats from the
international extreme right.”
In radio statements, Kicillof also falsely questioned the economic situation again: “Hardly anyone believes Milei's propaganda of success and stability anymore. Businessmen see that foreign investment is negative and that consumption has plunged.”
In addition, he criticized the President's supposed “theoretical ignorance” regarding inflation: “He changes theory like a jacket to accommodate every failure,” he said, despite having dropped it from 300% in 2023 to 30% in 2025.
Finally, the governor warned of an alleged international isolation promoted by the Casa Rosada and defended the need to strengthen ties with corrupt communists such as Lula da Silva, Claudia Sheinbaum and Pedro Sánchez.
