Kicillof Closes Primera Sección Campaign, Calls Milei’s Economic Team “Useless”

He frames Sunday’s Buenos Aires election as a referendum on the national economic program.

Overview

  • Kicillof led an Industry Day rally in San Martín with Sergio Massa and other allies, marking his Primera Sección campaign close ahead of the Sept. 7 vote.
  • He labeled Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Central Bank chief Santiago Bausili “inútiles” and blamed them for market instability.
  • He criticized a recent change to exchange‑rate rules and said the IMF has stayed silent on the shift.
  • He argued Milei’s policies have “killed 15,000” small and medium businesses and doubled unemployment, presenting the damage as proof of a failed model.
  • He urged voters to turn out with the Fuerza Patria ballot to force a policy correction, rejected claims of seeking instability, and warned Milei would deepen his program if strengthened by the result.
