The Kirchnerist governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, received insults, boos, and reproaches during his arrival at the Government House of Jujuy, where on Friday, October 30, he held an institutional meeting with the radical leader Carlos Sadir. The episode, shared through social media posts, occurred amid his political tour across the country in view of the presidential elections of 2027.
According to testimonies and the images shared, several people expressed their rejection of the Buenos Aires governor as he was about to enter the government building. In response to the shouts, Kicillof quickly headed inside the official headquarters, where he had a scheduled meeting with Sadir to advance cooperation agreements between the two provinces.
The situation also generated questions on social media due to a second controversial scene. A small group of people located behind a fence was allegedly used to simulate a favorable reception for the Kirchnerist.
The episode occurred while Kicillof is trying to expand his political presence outside Buenos Aires and consolidate his own space ahead of 2027. His visit to Jujuy was part of that strategy, which combines institutional meetings with governors from different parties and encounters with provincial Peronist leaders.
During the press conference alongside Sadir, the Buenos Aires governor took advantage of his presence in northern Argentina to question President Javier Milei. "We must go back to the beginnings of our history to find a government so little federal, so unitary, so centralist," he stated. He also argued that the provinces must strengthen their cooperation mechanisms in the face of the national administration's policies.
Kicillof challenged Cristina and Massa: he asked for interns and rejected the “handpicked” candidacies
Subsequently, the Kirchnerist leader moved to Palpalá, where he held a meeting with the Peronist mayor Rubén Rivarola and led an event at the Altos Hornos Zapla Club, which gathered militants and leaders from various Jujuy localities.
The visit was also marked by internal disputes within the Justicialist Party, whose provincial control faces different sectors of Peronism. Meanwhile, Kicillof seeks to strengthen his presidential project while facing Cristina Kirchner and Sergio Massa for the leadership of Peronism itself.
