A public dispute has erupted between Juan Manuel Abal Medina, former Chief of Staff, and Facundo Tignanelli, a Buenos Aires congressman aligned with La Cámpora, a Kirchnerist political group. The conflict stems from Tignanelli’s rally demanding the freedom of Cristina Kirchner, which Abal Medina criticized. Tignanelli responded by accusing Abal Medina of having ties to the Macri administration, a political opponent. Abal Medina, in turn, dismissed Tignanelli as subservient to Máximo Kirchner, suggesting his position depends on maintaining favor. The exchange highlights internal tensions within the Kirchnerist movement regarding political tactics and loyalty. The increasingly public nature of the disagreement suggests a deepening rift within the Peronist coalition.
