Kicillof Meets Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to Project Peronist Unity Before Oct. 26 Vote

The private sit-down signaled a reset to coordinate efforts for the Oct. 26 legislative vote.

Overview

  • The meeting took place Wednesday at Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s San José 1111 residence in Buenos Aires under house arrest and lasted about 90 minutes, with sources calling it positive.
  • Axel Kicillof obtained judicial authorization for the visit due to her Vialidad conviction and home detention.
  • Discussions focused on the national and international context and campaign planning, with both camps emphasizing the need to “sumar fuerzas” for October.
  • No official photo was taken, indicating a deliberate, low-profile presentation of the rapprochement.
  • It was their first face-to-face in more than 100 days after tensions over the delay, as Peronist leaders try to capitalize on the Sept. 7 provincial win in a district that holds roughly 40% of the electorate.
