Axel Kicillof leads campaign rally in Chaco, criticizes Milei's economy

Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof traveled to Chaco to speak at an event marking the assumption of leadership of the provincial CGT, which also served as a show of provincial support for his potential presidential candidacy. With backing from former Chaco Governor Jorge Capitanich and former CGT General Secretary Héctor Daer, Kicillof criticized the current government, suggesting they "go back to study economics" and calling President Javier Milei "Argentina's problem."

Kicillof was the main speaker at an event held at the "Roque Schulz" Sports and Recreation Complex of the Chaco Commercial Employees Union. He was joined by Capitanich, Daer, and members of the Buenos Aires cabinet, including ministers Carlos Bianco, Walter Correa, Andrés Larroque, and Javier Alonso. Union leaders from various sectors, such as gastronomy, trucking, and chemical industries, were also present.

Addressing the attendees, Kicillof attacked Milei's economic management, focusing on issues like personal debt and loan defaults. "Company closures, layoffs, precarious labor, wages that don't suffice, public services with dollarized tariffs, destruction of the productive apparatus. They tell us the macroeconomy is doing well, that the problem is the micro. I answer Milei's government: What macroeconomy will do well if people can't afford it? Millions of families, that's the macroeconomy. Let them go study economics again. There is no order, no stability if people can't live, or if a few take everything," Kicillof stated, standing behind a table displaying a flag with the words "The Malvinas are Argentine."

Kicillof highlighted the problem of family indebtedness as a symptom of the government's "disaster." He criticized Milei and his ministers for their statements that individuals are responsible for their own debts. "A president who hates the people he governs said no one held a gun to their heads, that it's a problem between private parties. Lies, they came with a plan to repress workers' wages," the governor asserted. He further described the deregulation as a "lying paraphernalia" that led to "a festival of debt at unaffordable rates," concluding, "Milei, the fault is yours. The problem isn't Argentines, it's not private individuals. Argentina's problem has a name and surname: it's Javi."

Milei, la culpa es tuya. El problema no son los argentinos, no son los privados. El problema de la Argentina tiene nombre y apellido: se llama Javier Milei
