Kicillof also returned to his usual anti-business rhetoric, criticizing the international agreements promoted by the Government: "The Government went to the United States to ask for help and support. I want to clarify that neither the U.S. government nor JP Morgan are charitable organizations. If they came to Argentina, it is for no other reason than to make a profit and put our resources at risk", he asserted, in a statement that was celebrated by his supporters but questioned by the opposition.
Accompanied by Sergio Massa and Máximo Kirchner, the governor insisted on distancing himself from the direction of the national Executive, avoiding any self-criticism for the loss of the main electoral stronghold of Kirchnerism.
"Starting tomorrow, we have to see if the situation of our province, our people, those who face worsening daily lives, improves at all", he warned, assuring that "the situation of our people will not improve in the slightest as long as these same policies continue."
With a defiant tone, he defined the political dispute as a confrontation between "two models of country": one, according to him, "that attacks retirees, people with disabilities, and those who work"; and the other, Kirchnerism's, which he promised to "defend as a shield for those who suffer."
"We are going to use all resources and all possibilities to continue acting as a shield to protect those who suffer", Kicillof reiterated before the supporters who cheered him at the Coliseo Podestá theater in La Plata.
