During election day, an unprecedented scene was witnessed: Karina Milei, accompanied by Martín Menem, took on a public role as spokesperson before the press, a gesture interpreted as a sign of internal cohesion after rumors about the future of Chief of Cabinet, Guillermo Francos.
Sources close to the President confirmed that his sister will be decisive in choosing the new head of the Cabinet, in a power structure that consolidates the Iron Triangle formed by Milei, Karina, and Caputo.
For Peronism, the defeat was catastrophic. Not even the most pessimistic sectors imagined such a wide margin, especially in Buenos Aires province. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who designed most of the lists and opposed splitting the elections, emerges as the main person responsible for the failure.
Governor Axel Kicillof and the Buenos Aires mayors failed to maintain the electoral structure, and the results show a protest vote against the lack of renewal and the exhaustion of the Kirchnerist model. Meanwhile, the Provincias Unidas bloc, promoted by Juan Schiaretti, Maximiliano Pullaro, and Ignacio Torres, also failed to establish itself as a third national force, showing that society opted for a clear polarization between change and the past.
