The governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, is set to hold a press conference to respond to recent statements by President Javier Milei, who threatened to intervene in the province through social media. In La Plata, Kicillof will lead the press conference accompanied by members of his cabinet and Peronist mayors.
In a social media message, Milei urged Kicillof to resign or allow the national government to intervene in the province, describing the situation in Buenos Aires as a "bloodbath" and questioning the governor's management of security. These statements provoked a strong response from Kicillof, who is preparing to address this issue at the press conference.
President Milei also criticized Kicillof's stance, relating it to the doctrine of former Supreme Court judge Eugenio Zaffaroni. According to Milei, it is impossible to work with someone who considers criminals as victims, while for them, criminals are responsible for their actions. These statements have generated intense public debate in Argentina and have increased tensions between the national government and the province of Buenos Aires.
Axel Kicillof's press conference is expected to shed more light on the province of Buenos Aires's stance in the face of the criticisms and threats of intervention issued by the national government. The situation remains developing as both parties continue to exchange statements and positions on this delicate issue of public security and provincial governance.
