The Evita Movement harshly criticized Máximo Kirchner and once again exposed the fracture within Peronism, evidenced by the recent clashes between Mario Ishii and Sergio Berni against the governor. The social organization led by Emilio Pérsico questioned the national deputy's criticisms against Axel Kicillof and reaffirmed that the Buenos Aires governor is their candidate to contest the leadership of Peronism.
The reaction came after the event held last Saturday in Parque Lezama, under the slogan for “the freedom of Cristina,” where Máximo Kirchner targeted sectors of Peronism that talk about unity but, as he said, “don't even go to see Cristina.” The phrase was interpreted as a direct message against Kicillof and his political apparatus in the province of Buenos Aires.

From the Evita Movement, they considered that a call aimed at demanding justice for Cristina Kirchner ended up becoming a “trench of division” within the very space. In this context, they publicly backed the Buenos Aires governor and confronted the Kirchnerism of, paradoxically, Máximo and Cristina Kirchner.
The general secretary of the Evita Movement in the province of Buenos Aires, Eduardo “Cholo” Ancona, stated that Peronism must build “the largest possible unity” to face the government of Javier Milei, but warned that candidacies must be resolved in the PASO.
“If Máximo wants, let him compete in the PASO,” Ancona asserted, in a statement that deepened the internal tension over the remnants of power. He then became even more direct: “Axel is our candidate and is willing to face anyone in a primary.”

Jonathan Thea, general secretary of Evita Capital, also joined in, stating that Kicillof “is the one who best expresses the possibility of a future alternative.” Furthermore, he criticized those who publicly attack the Buenos Aires governor and argued that such criticisms ultimately politically benefit Milei.
Thea claimed that he does not see a traditional internal conflict within the Justicialist Party, but rather a sector of the very space attacking the leader who, in his view, appears best positioned to compete in 2027. For the leader of the piquetero movement, this situation is “strange and dangerous.” Meanwhile, the secretary of Organization of Evita, Rafael Villanueva, called for the grassroots to organize to “recover” the country.
