Kirchner, who has been a central figure in Argentine politics for over a decade, used the occasion to address party leaders and supporters. As the sole speaker, she emphasized the need to unify Peronism and strengthen its position in the upcoming elections. The ceremony also saw the formal installation of vice presidents and directors for “Frist the Homeland,” a faction within the PJ that emerged after the candidacy of Riojan Governor Ricardo Quintela was challenged.
“Today, Cristina assumes the presidency of the party, and everyone was summoned. We must ask those who did not come why they did not do so,” said Julián Domínguez, a prominent party leader, in an interview with TN.
Among the attendees were key figures such as Aníbal Fernández, oscar Parrilli, Agustín Rossi, José Mayans, Fernando Espinoza, Mayra Mendoza, Germán Martínez, Wado de Pedro, and Mariano Recalde.

Cristina and Kicillof Reunite Amidst Political Tensions in Buenos Aires
In a surprising turn of events, Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof and former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner were seen together at a political event in Moreno last Monday. The gathering, which also included Sergio Massa, marked thier first public appearance since the 2023 elections, sparking speculation about the state of their relationship within the Peronist movement.
Initially, reports suggested that Kicillof would not attend the event due to prior commitments involving tours and inaugurations in the province. Though, it later emerged that he had not received a formal invitation to participate. Despite this, Kicillof has been actively engaged in provincial affairs, recently delivering 60 homes in Pehuajó and 36 in Carlos Casares, as well as distributing 45 netbooks through the Conectar Igualdad Buenos Aires program.
The event in Moreno was organized by Máximo Kirchner and was part of the Council of the Buenos Aires Justicialist Party. While the joint appearance was seen as a symbolic gesture toward unity, sources indicate that tensions remain high within the party. The 2023 electoral defeat has left deep fractures, with ongoing disputes over the upcoming legislative elections in 2024.
Key points of contention include the formation of candidate lists and the process for selecting representatives in the province. additionally, the strained relationship between Kicillof and Fernández de Kirchner has been a source of friction, with lingering disagreements stemming from the governor’s distance from his political mentor in recent months.
despite the challenges, both leaders attended the Moreno event, signaling a willingness to engage in dialog. Though, the underlying tensions suggest that reconciliation might potentially be a long and difficult process. As the Peronist movement navigates these internal conflicts, the focus remains on rebuilding trust and preparing for the upcoming elections.
For now, the appearance of Cristina and Kicillof together serves as a reminder of the complexities within Argentina’s political landscape, where unity often masks deeper divisions.
