Peronist senators express frustration over Kicillof-Kirchner feud

The Peronist party is grappling with internal divisions, with two prominent senators voicing their exasperation over the persistent political feud between Axel Kicillof and Máximo Kirchner. The senators' comments came shortly after the Senate's rejection of a chapter concerning the foreign ownership of land.

What would Perón tell Axel and Máximo? Stop bothering each other and fix it.

Senator José Mayans, who leads the Peronist bloc in the Senate, directly addressed the conflict, stating, "What would Perón tell Axel and Máximo? Stop bothering each other and fix it." He added that he believes they will eventually reconcile, driven by their love for the country, and prioritize "the homeland, then the movement, then the men."

Senator Juliana Di Tullio, another key Peronist figure, echoed Mayans' sentiments, admitting the dispute is "tiring me out, imagine the rest." She acknowledged that the public is likely frustrated and that the internal conflict primarily concerns the leaders themselves. Despite her frustration, Di Tullio expressed confidence that Javier Milei will not be re-elected in 2027 and that Peronism will reorganize itself.

The discussion is tiring me out, imagine the rest. The people detest us and they are right.

Both senators expressed a degree of bewilderment regarding the specific nature of Kicillof and Kirchner's differences, with Di Tullio noting, "If you ask me, I don't know what the differences are. I talk to everyone and I don't find too many." Their statements highlight a significant internal tension within the Peronist movement as it navigates political challenges.
