Buenos Aires Peronism Fractures as Kicillof and La Cámpora Clash Before PJ Leadership Vote

December’s renewal of the provincial party has become the immediate test of power after Cristina Kirchner blamed Axel Kicillof’s election timing for October’s defeat.

Cristina sigue cosechando críticas de intendentes peronistas bonaerense a raíz de su carta en la que criticó a Kicillof por el desdoblamiento.

Overview

  • TN and La Nación report a direct fight for control of the Buenos Aires PJ, with the December leadership renewal seen as pivotal for shaping strategies toward 2027.
  • Máximo Kirchner defended Cristina Kirchner at a La Cámpora event in Quilmes, appeared with Guillermo Moreno, and is being pushed by his group to seek reelection at the helm of the PJ bonaerense.
  • Axel Kicillof gathered intendentes aligned with his Movimiento Derecho al Futuro, who urged him to sideline camporista officials and assert greater autonomy from kirchnerismo.
  • Cristina Kirchner’s public letter faulted the desdoblamiento decision for the Buenos Aires loss, a diagnosis disputed by Kicillof’s camp, which points to representational deficits and argues for broadening the coalition.
  • The Oct. 26 vote left LLA as the first national minority with about 40.6% versus roughly 31.7% for the peronist coalition, Buenos Aires tilted 41.5% to 40.8%, and turnout fell to around 67%, the lowest since 1983.
