A new internal dispute has erupted within the Buenos Aires branch of Argentina’s Peronist party (PJ). Legislator Berenice Ibañez, aligned with the Buenos Aires Governor, publicly criticized former President Cristina Kirchner, stating she is obstructive and attempts to exert control from a distance. This criticism prompted a strong response from Kirchnerist factions within the party. Those factions, known as La Cámpora, subsequently targeted Governor Kicillof and political operative “Cuervo” Larroque. Ibañez alluded to a negative outcome, referencing the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet to suggest Kirchner’s intervention could be detrimental. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions and power dynamics within the historically influential Peronist movement, particularly as Argentina approaches elections. This latest conflict underscores divisions within the party regarding strategy and leadership.
