Mendoza criticizes Kicillof for silence on Kirchner

The Buenos Aires provincial deputy and La Cámpora leader Mayra Mendoza stated today that she is 'concerned' that in the speech for the opening of the ordinary sessions, Governor Axel Kicillof 'did not make reference to the proscription of Peronism with the illegal detention of Cristina Kirchner.' 'I am concerned that as governor he did not mention the proscription of Peronism due to the illegal detention of Cristina, for whom, moreover, I humanly expected a show of solidarity, as many Argentines who love Cristina also expected,' she expressed. In reality, although Kicillof did not utter the word 'proscription' as the monolithic script of Camporism seeks to impose, he did speak of 'judicial persecution and unjust convictions,' in clear reference to Cristina Kirchner. The public reproach from the former mayor of Quilmes is part of the endless war of attrition maintained by the sector led by Máximo Kirchner against the former Minister of Economy. In addition to fanning the flames over Kicillof's alleged omission regarding Cristina Kirchner's situation, Mendoza once again brought to light the differences over the governor's decision to split the elections last year. 'We agree that there is no provincial solution to the national crisis, and in fact, we maintain this in our actions,' she said. 'That is why we oppose the splitting of the 2025 elections,' stated the Kirchnerist lawmaker, hitting the nail on the head. And she added: 'The deliberative councils do not stop the destruction laws that Milei sends to the national congress.' As the Argentine News Agency was able to verify, the only real coincidence that Mayra Mendoza rescued from Kicillof's speech was the 'demand for the funds that the government of Javier Milei owes' the province of Buenos Aires. 'As Néstor Kirchner taught us, there are no local projects without a national project.'
