After Quilmes and Lanús Clashes, La Cámpora Points at Kicillof as Peronist Unity Falters

Internal mediation has given way to accusations over wage protests by UTEP-linked cooperatives targeting Camporista mayors.

Overview

  • In Lanús, cooperatives tied to Movimiento Evita and UTEP held a piquete outside city hall, set a Christmas tree on fire, and demanded a meeting with Mayor Julián Álvarez.
  • A leaked audio captured Quilmes Mayor Mayra Mendoza accusing Juan Grabois of inciting violence during a protest over a new parking ordinance.
  • Grabois responded on X by distancing himself from factional motives and criticizing the municipal closure of social dialogue in a context of hunger.
  • La Cámpora sources accused Governor Axel Kicillof and figures linked to his MDF space of coordinating the mobilizations, an allegation rejected by leaders close to the Governor.
  • UTEP framed the actions as wage claims, alleging street-sweeping cooperatives are hired at 140,000 pesos for four-hour shifts, while leaders warn provincial PJ unity is under severe strain without a formal split.
