US EditionCFK Confirms Provincial Legislature Candidacy
- Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, former two-term president and vice president, announced on Monday her candidacy for the Buenos Aires Provincial Legislature.
- She portrayed her candidacy as a calculated move to give a stronger voice to the suburbs around Buenos Aires, which have long been marginalized in provincial politics, amid escalating disagreements within Peronism regarding election scheduling and strategy.
- The staggered elections require over 17 million Buenos Aires residents to vote twice before the October 26 national midterms, a schedule Fernández de Kirchner criticized as fragmented and burdensome.
- She said, "You have to go where you’re most useful," and called the election issue "not about the Buenos Aires Legislature; it’s about common sense," while sharply criticizing Governor Axel Kicillof's support for the split calendar.
- Her candidacy could strengthen Peronist influence in southern districts like La Matanza but also highlights risks from internal divisions that may weaken their overall electoral performance.
