Kicillof Brings Mayors to Villa Gesell for Federal Peronist Push, Unveils $100 Million Route 11 Plan

The Buenos Aires governor pairs public works with a bid to scrap local term limits to rally mayors against President Javier Milei.

Overview

  • In Villa Gesell, Axel Kicillof gathered Movimiento Derecho al Futuro leaders and allied intendentes, declaring 2026 the year of a broad, federal buildout with territorial outreach.
  • He announced a $100 million investment for Route 11 between Mar de Ajó and Pinamar during his first summer conference of the year.
  • Kicillof intensified criticism of Javier Milei, accusing the national government of withholding funds owed to provinces and calling its anti-inflation strategy recessionary.
  • Provincial officials reported a weaker summer season, citing fewer tourists than last year and a 21% drop in consumption, which Kicillof blamed on national policies.
  • Allies said he will push a bill to lift Buenos Aires Province re-election limits, a move affecting dozens of mayors, as he positions for the March 15 PJ renewal and schedules alternating sector meetings and summer conferences to expand MDF.
