The governor of the province of Buenos Aires came to the crossroads of the Executive Branch over the economic measures implemented and the layoffs in the public sector
The governor of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof
Axel Kicillof targeted the Government of Javier Milei for the economic measures implemented in the midst of the crisis and layoffs in the public sector.
“In the middle of a Dengue epidemic, a deserted and absent National State that does not care for anyone,” defined the governor of the province of Buenos Aires in his X account . The leader of Unión por la Patria was not alone in the health criticism of the handling of the historic outbreak of the disease and added: “With Milei as president, the Government is only present to fire workers, raise rates, put a ceiling on salaries and defend privileges . ”
He focused on the images that were seen this Wednesday of the state offices guarded by police personnel, after ATE's threat to take over public organizations to protest the thousands of layoffs ordered by the Executive Branch. “We woke up with Conicet and other public agencies almost militarized. Today we saw a spectacle as sad as it was cruel that will remain in memory as one of the most representative images of this dark time,” Kicillof considered in the publication he made late last night.
“I want to express our solidarity with all the laid-off workers. Our commitment is to do everything in our power to protect the rights of the people of Buenos Aires and to mitigate Milei's aggression on the rights and daily lives of families," stated the provincial leader who seeks to raise his profile as an opposition leader and also within the internal Buenos Aires Peronism that he maintains with La Cámpora and Máximo Kirchner.
The provincial president toughened his speech in the midst of the crusade he maintains with the Nation for the withdrawal of resources from the Buenos Aires administration such as the Teacher Incentive Fund (FONID) and the Fiscal Strengthening Fund (FOFOFI). The latter is a fund that had been created in 2020 to compensate for the gap that Buenos Aires has in terms of federal co-participation. It contributes about 40% of co-participating tax collection and receives 22%.
Indeed, the governor has several reasons to strain the relationship with Casa Rosada. Days ago he took advantage of Veteran's and Memorial Day in the Malvinas , to confront the president for comments he made at the time in which he praised the figure of Margaret Thatcher , the former British prime minister who led the war in the Malvinas Islands from the English side and who ordered the Ara General Belgrano Cruiser to be sunk during the conflict, on May 2, 1982.
“Because of some things that one hears these days, we are obviously waiting for whoever is today President of the Nation to tell the people that they cannot honor and have as an idol Margaret Thatcher , who treacherously ordered the killing of Argentine soldiers.” , he said on Tuesday during an official event that he led in the town of Pilar accompanied by Mayor Federico Achaval .
The libertarian economist had already praised British policy on different occasions in recent years. In fact, in the last presidential debate, the candidate at that time for Unión por la Patria, Sergio Massa , reminded the libertarian economist of his controversial recognition of the former conservative British leader. “ In the history of humanity there have been great leaders; Mrs Thatcher was. Just as (former US President) Reagan was, or (former British Minister Winston) Churchill, or (former French President Charles) De Gaulle. Thatcher had a significant role in the Fall of the Berlin Wall, which seems to bother you that she has fallen and crushed the left ,” Milei then justified when responding to the former Economy Minister's question.
