Party Infighting

Following December's failed PJ Buenos Aires leadership transition, Máximo Kirchner, leader of La Cámpora, has informally proposed that Governor Axel Kicillof take the presidency of the Buenos Aires Justicialist Party as a unity gesture. Kicillof's inner circle expresses distrust, learning of the offer via media leaks without prior formal contact. The move unfolds amid persistent party infighting, with candidate lists closing February 8.
