‘Peronism will return to power in Argentina,’ declares Kicillof at loyalty day rally

Buenos Aires Province Governor Axel Kicillof declared at a rally that Peronism will regain power in Argentina, as rival factions of the opposition held separate events to celebrate Peronist Loyalty Day. Kicillof, calling for the political movement to reform, declared, "Peronism will govern Argentina again." He pledged to travel the country and fulfill whatever responsibilities were necessary to rebuild the movement.

The 55-year-old is expected to be the nominee of the Partido Justicialista, the main party of the Peronist movement. Kicillof urged supporters to concentrate on President Javier Milei's government and not internal disputes. He criticized the Milei administration's close ties with Washington, insisting that Argentina should not be dictated to by another nation.

National deputy Máximo Kirchner joined a different rally in Resistencia, criticizing other politicians for their lack of action. Fernández de Kirchner, who is currently under house arrest for corruption, was mentioned by both leaders, with Kicillof supporting her due to her defense of their causes. Loyalty Day commemorates the 1945 mass mobilization that secured Perón's release and remains a pivotal moment in Peronist history.
