La Derecha Diario Máximo Kirchner will call elections in the Buenos Aires PJ to solve internal disputes
The organization has been dealing with serious internal conflicts for some time
The Justicialist Party of the Buenos Aires province is preparing to renew its leadership toward the end of this year. This is stated by its current president, national deputy Máximo Kirchner, whose term at the head of the party leadership ends in December 2025.
According to Infobae, the call will take place "in the coming days" and the event will serve to solve the internal disputes that the group has been dragging on for some time, which reached their most critical moment during the closing of candidate lists for the upcoming September 7 elections.
"Those who keep talking about Máximo's leadership and so on will now have the opportunity to engage in the internal contest, we'll see if they're present," said a close associate of the leader.
Máximo Kirchner assumed the presidency of the Buenos Aires PJ on December 18, 2021, at an event held at Quinta de San Vicente with the presence of then-president Alberto Fernández.
If an internal contest ultimately takes place, although there is also the possibility of reaching a consensus to define the new authorities of the party council, it would occur once the results of the provincial elections on September 7 and the national deputies' elections on October 26 are determined.
Both electoral processes are unfolding in a climate of uncertainty within the different currents of Peronism, with a common point: the closing of candidate lists for the provincial elections was marked by tensions and difficulties.
Within the Buenos Aires PJ, they believe that, in the absence of a primary election to organize the group and without a figure exercising the traditional verticalism characteristic of Peronism, an internal contest could fulfill that organizing role.
"What is being contested and built is power; Máximo is knowledgeable about the subject and it's not a discussion he avoids," comments a source who keeps daily contact with the leader.
The current composition of the PJ faithfully reflects the internal dynamics of Buenos Aires Peronism, whose latest visible expression occurred in the recent closing of candidate lists, with an almost equal presence of leaders aligned with Kirchnerism and the Axel Kicillof sector.
