Axel Kicillof arremetió contra Javier Milei.

Overview

  • On August 1, the governor opened a 1.7 billion–peso Primary Health Care Center in Junín and unveiled additional CAPS facilities in Chacabuco funded entirely by Buenos Aires Province
  • He delivered new police patrol vehicles to Junín and highlighted provincial investment in public safety to offset what he called national government neglect
  • Kicillof publicly urged President Milei to hand over unfinished federal infrastructure so the province can complete the stalled projects
  • The governor blamed Milei’s budget cuts for a 65% increase in patient demand at Junín’s provincial hospital since the national administration took office
  • These high-profile inaugurations and critiques of federal austerity are central to Kicillof’s push to mobilize voters against Milei’s policies before the September 7 legislative elections
