Axel Kicillof crossed Javier Milei for the video of the Ku-K 12 virus: “He is promoting hatred”

The Video That Javier Milei Published About The “Ku-k-12 Virus”

After President Javier Milei posted a video on his social media showing Argentine society infected by a virus called “Ku-K 12,” the governor of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, made a statement regarding the attacks that targeted the opposition. “We cannot allow, and much less naturalize, the frontal and daily attack on democratic coexistence,” he said.

Throughout the film, the main representatives of Kirchnerism appear marked by an aesthetic linked to a post-apocalyptic world, in which only buildings in ruins and people turned into zombies are seen. Under this concept, it is mentioned that this virus destroyed bodies and minds, but that with the passage of time it would have become more vulnerable, referring to the elections lost by Peronism last year.

Hours later, Kicillof said that the message spread by the president “is very serious and grave”, for having compared the opposition to a virus. “This metaphor has already been used on more than one occasion, and the worst aberrations have been committed in its name,” he said, considering that the conduct adopted by Milei would be “worrying.”

“We cannot allow, and much less naturalize, the frontal and daily attack on democratic coexistence,” the governor pointed out, and then stressed that “this is a limit that the president is getting used to crossing.” In line with this, he denounced that “Milei is promoting a virus of hate, absolutely incompatible with democracy and life in common,” while inviting “all legislators from Buenos Aires, national and provincial, to express their energetic repudiation of the video that was released.”

In closing, Kicillof addressed the national leader in an even more direct manner and asserted: “Milei: you don’t mess with democracy.” However, he did not waste the opportunity to confront the head of state and the policies he developed during the ten months of the current administration, stressing that these would only cause social damage.

In the list of 12 different complaints, the Buenos Aires governor criticized the president for “attacking all rights and deliberately deteriorating the daily life of the popular sectors, workers, retirees and young people,” because he would subject “Argentines to cruel and unnecessary sacrifices and deprivations.” At the same time, he affirmed that his policies would promote “selfishness and extreme individualism,” with the aim of eliminating solidarity in Argentine society.

However, Kicillof’s complaint focused on the various attacks against democratic coexistence that the president had made recently. From his position as governor, he accused Milei of having harmed federal values ​​by attacking the governors, ignoring the legitimacy of their positions and ignoring the commitments and obligations to the provinces.

“According to Milei, the national government has no responsibility in matters of education, health, infrastructure or security,” he charged, explaining that, given the lack of assistance from the Nation, the maintenance of these portfolios had to be faced by the governors and mayors. “In short: it violates the Constitution and encourages national disintegration,” he said.

“From the opposition, respecting the presidential powers, it is very difficult to modify the disastrous direction of the policy of adjustment and lack of protection that the national government is carrying out,” he said, explaining that, among the governors and mayors, they tried to find other ways to “mitigate the social damage that this policy inflicts.”

Likewise, he said that Milei made a direct attack against democracy by calling the deputies rats and the journalists who criticised his administration envelopes. He also recalled that the legislators who were singled out by the president also had the same political legitimacy to occupy their positions, since they were democratically elected.

On the other hand, Kicillof criticized the decisions that the government took regarding the management of natural resources, the measures that would promote the deindustrialization of the country and the lack of public investment in the development of infrastructure. “Not only does it sacrifice thousands of jobs, but it also leaves millions of Argentines without the necessary improvements that were underway,” he said regarding the works on schools, children’s centers, water, sewage, housing, roads and bridges that were left unfinished.

“He has completely abandoned education and public health, failing to fulfill his constitutional duty to protect the people,” he accused, adding that cutting pensions and medicines for this sector would be “perverse.” He also condemned the repression that occurred during the recent demonstrations around the National Congress, the deterioration of relations with key commercial partners due to ideological issues, and the lack of funding for public universities and cultural institutes.
