Buenos Aires, November 14 (NA) — Former President and head of the Justicialist Party (PJ) Cristina Kirchner is spearheading a series of party meetings to 'close ranks' amid rumors of internal division and to unify criteria against the structural reforms being promoted in Congress by President Javier Milei. According to party sources speaking to Noticias Argentinas, the directive from the Cristina-aligned leadership aims to show unity after the electoral defeat to dispel rumors of a possible fragmentation in Congress. To accomplish this mission, the PJ has launched meetings to define a 'common strategy' regarding the legislative agenda proposed by the government: the 2026 Budget and labor, tax, and tax reform. The first will be next Tuesday at the headquarters on Matheu Street, where the members of the Board of Directors and vice-presidents will meet, while the second will take place on Wednesday with the Peronist senators led by José Mayans. Although not yet on the agenda, an invitation could be extended to PJ governors to join the debate. Following the defeat in the legislative elections and the approach of some governors to the Casa Rosada, the four potential attendees are Axel Kicillof (Buenos Aires), Gildo Insfrán (Formosa), Ricardo Quintela (La Rioja), and Sergio Ziliotto (La Pampa). Meanwhile, Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán) and Raúl Jalil (Catamarca) have distanced themselves from the PJ leadership and are even considering forming an inter-bloc in parliament to jump on the libertarian reform wave.
