The Governor of Buenos Aires Province, Axel Kicillof, met today in Villa Gesell with regional mayors, ministers, and key leaders of the 'Right to the Future' political movement. The message to the troops was that '2026 will be the year of broad and federal construction' across the country. The MDF, which established its cornerstone in Buenos Aires Province, will seek this year to expand and take root in each of the country's provinces to spread Kicillof's word and consolidate a political alternative to polarize against Javier Milei, preparing the ground for a presidential candidacy in 2027. '2026 is the year of broad and federal construction that contains responses and proposals for the demands of society,' high-ranking sources from the governor's office told the Argentine News Agency. In that vein, the provincial governor made the first stop of his federal tour at the end of last year in Formosa Province, where Governor Gildo Insfrán declared him an 'honorary guest.' In addition to Insfrán, Kicillof coordinates actions with the rest of the governors of 'Union for the Homeland,' who recognize the Buenos Aires governor as a primus inter pares with presidential projection. These are Tierra del Fuego Governor Gustavo Melella, Rioja Governor Ricardo Quintela, La Pampa Governor Sergio Ziliotto, and Santiago del Estero Governor Elías Suárez. Before announcing his presidential candidacy, for which there is 'an eternity' to wait and for now it is just an insinuation, Kicillof seeks to establish franchises of the 'Right to the Future' movement in each of the country's provinces. 'The idea is to project the MDF-type construction throughout the national territory,' confirmed sources consulted from the Kicillofismo. In some provinces, such as Formosa, there was and is a clear reference (Insfrán) aligned with the governor, but in others it is still a pending task that requires deep political organization work. That is why Kicillof's trips to the territories will be carefully chosen and guarded, NA learned. 'There are places where you first need a firm reference that prepares the ground before a visit. Because if there are tugs or frictions around the visit, it ends up being counterproductive,' they explained from the MDF. In addition to the host mayor, Gustavo Barrera, and the vice-governor, Verónica Magario, at the political meeting were, among other ministers, Carlos Bianco (Government), Andrés Larroque (Community Development), and Gabriel Katopodis (Infrastructure). Before arriving in Villa Gesell, Kicillof led a meeting with productive sectors in Mar de Ajó, Partido de la Costa. In the district governed by Barrera, the governor gave his traditional summer conference at the Golf Club and only afterward gathered his inner circle for a political chat.
