Overview

• Máximo Kirchner was captured in a short video urging Axel Kicillof to invest in Quilmes at the level of La Plata, using the line “Ojalá el gobernador ponga la misma plata en Quilmes que pone en la ciudad de La Plata.”
• The remark came during the inauguration of the Polideportivo Diego Armando Maradona in Quilmes, an event shared with Mayor Mayra Mendoza and Jorge Taiana, and a roughly 21-second clip circulated widely on social media.
• The viral moment reignited internal tensions within Peronism less than two weeks before Buenos Aires province elections, sharpening a dispute over resource distribution in key municipalities.
• Los Andes reported that Kicillof had been in Quilmes hours earlier to inaugurate a new alcaidía with Mendoza, an overlap that underscores the sensitivity around public works and visibility.
• Clarín reported that the fraught closing of candidate lists included a power outage at the Electoral Board building that effectively extended negotiations for factional placements.
