The ultra Kirchnerist governor Axel Kicillof closed the Federal Plenary of the Movement Right to the Future in Avellaneda on Saturday with a speech lasting over an hour in which the name of the president, Javier Milei, took center stage.
So much so that the Buenos Aires governor mentioned the Argentine president 35 times during his speech, while combining criticisms of the national government with definitions about the internal dynamics of Peronism and signals for the upcoming 2027 elections.
The repeated references to Milei set the tone for a presentation in which Kicillof sought to position his space as an alternative to the ruling party.
At the beginning of his speech, he highlighted the growth of the Movement Right to the Future. "On this Peronist day, something new is in the air, something that is growing, something that is, as it should be, being organized. That’s why we came", he stated.
He then presented one of his definitions regarding the internal Peronist dynamics: "After so much suspicion, it was simpler; new songs are composed collectively and are composed from the bottom up, comrades".
Criticism of Milei's Government
Kicillof divided his intervention between questioning the President and proposing ideas for building a political alternative.
