Buenos Aires, Argentina – President Javier Milei has ignited the electoral campaign with a powerful and direct challenge to Governor Axel Kicillof, placing him firmly at the center of the political arena and declaring an unwavering, “cruel battle” against Kirchnerism. Speaking at the inaugural campaign event in Buenos Aires, President Milei launched sharp criticisms against Kicillof, branding him the “last czar of misery” and the “heir of a failed model.”

President Milei’s strategic objective is to fundamentally reconfigure the political landscape by directly confronting Kicillof as his primary rival. His sights are set on conquering the strategically vital province of Buenos Aires, which he starkly described as “an inferno” and the “last bastion” of Kirchnerism. The President emphasized his determination to extend the “model applied in the Nation” to the province, signaling a complete overhaul of the current administration. He also alluded to recent polls indicating significant gains in the province, even within traditionally Peronist strongholds.

The President’s resolute rhetoric extends beyond Governor Kicillof to Cristina Kirchner, whom he referred to as “the gang of the convict,” firmly linking her to corruption and reiterating his belief that those involved will face justice and imprisonment. This aligns seamlessly with his broader commitment to allowing the justice system to operate freely and without interference.

The campaign will feature prominent figures from La Libertad Avanza, including ministers Patricia Bullrich, Federico Sturzenegger, and Luis Caputo, alongside José Luis Espert and Sebastián Pareja, all under the strategic guidance of Karina Milei, “El Jefe.” With upcoming elections on September 7th and October 26th, President Milei is rallying libertarians to mobilize voters, countering perceived attempts by the opposition to suppress turnout and ensuring a decisive victory for his vision of a liberated Argentina.
