Kicillof meets with Corrientes governor, discusses national change

Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof made a visit outside his province to Corrientes, meeting with his radical counterpart Juan Pablo Valdés. The meeting, framed around governance and inter-provincial cooperation, saw Kicillof express his commitment to national change, stating, "We are working for Argentina to change."

When directly asked about a potential presidential candidacy, Kicillof offered an evasive response, saying, "There is still a long way to go," accompanied by laughter. This encounter occurs shortly after Economy Minister Luis Caputo's defiant assertion that Kicillof could never be president, a statement Kicillof's circle interprets as confirmation of his viability as a contender against Javier Milei in 2027.

Valdés characterized the meeting as institutional, downplaying the prospect of a political alliance, especially given the radical party's fluctuating relationship with Milei. However, he welcomed Kicillof, acknowledging the need for dialogue among governors to strengthen federalism. Kicillof and Valdés signed cooperation agreements aimed at promoting the exchange of local products and agricultural development.

Kicillof highlighted the importance of federalism and solidarity, stating, "With Corrientes, we share problems and difficulties, but also solidarity and the will to use all our capabilities to cooperate and move forward." He assured the people of Corrientes of Buenos Aires' support. Valdés echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that governors must collaborate more to bolster federalism, calling the agreements a significant step toward addressing shared challenges.
