President Javier Milei blamed Peronism for the rising wave of insecurity in Buenos Aires and called for the resignation of Governor Axel Kicillof, also requesting intervention in the province. Amid this escalation of conflicts, the president shared a performance by the Uruguayan murga "Agarrate Catalina," which performed its well-known song "La violencia" during an event for former President Cristina Kirchner.
In public statements, Milei criticized Peronism, claiming that its DNA reproduces violence and that its judicial approach is part of the problem, not the solution. This stance triggered a series of reactions from the Nacional Justicialist Party, led by Cristina Kirchner, condemning the alleged threat of intervention in the province of Buenos Aires by the president of the Nation.
The Justicialist Party also described Milei's attitude as a disrespect to democracy and denounced an attempt at an institutional coup against the province and its governor. For its part, the Buenos Aires PJ, led by Máximo Kirchner, accused the president of using insecurity in the province for electoral purposes and urged him to resign from his position.
In response to the criticisms, Javier Milei has expressed his rejection of the lyrics of the murga "Agarrate Catalina," which paints a raw picture of marginalization in society. The libertarian president maintains a firm stance against tolerance towards criminals and emphasizes the importance of taking harsh measures to combat insecurity. The controversy continues among the various political factions, while tensions remain high in Buenos Aires.
