The Minister of Economy pointed out that over a million Argentinians are no longer subject to income tax, despite Bullrich’s claims. He also pledged to assist Kicillof in combating insecurity in the province if he becomes president on December 10th.
Kicillof warned that the province of Buenos Aires cannot be saved alone and emphasized the need for a national project, stating that it cannot be achieved through violence or austerity measures. He criticized Milei and Bullrich for attacking the achievements of the working people and the national industry, accusing them of seeking to exterminate Peronism and social justice.
The event emphasized the unity of the ruling party and aimed to mobilize the support of mayors and the governor to boost Massa’s candidacy, who finished third in the primary elections. Kicillof declared that the event was a source of motivation for Massa’s presidential bid.
In the morning, Massa met with students from the National School of Buenos Aires to express his support for public education and urge young people to commit to a society with a fairer income distribution. On Wednesday, Massa will also participate in the closing campaign event for Leandro Santoro, the candidate for Chief of Government of Buenos Aires, which will take place at the Luna Park stadium.
