A power struggle is escalating in the province of Buenos Aires as Governor Axel Kicillof and Deputy Máximo Kirchner navigate the intricacies of leadership within the provincial legislature. Despite reaching an agreement regarding a unified list to prevent internal elections for the Justicialist Party, their understanding seems limited to party matters and does not extend to other disputes within their factions. The ongoing tension, particularly regarding the vice presidencies of the Senate, signals that this internal conflict is far from resolved.

This latest chapter in the ongoing rivalry highlights deeper divisions between the factions of Kicillof and the Kirchnerist camp. While Kicillof has secured the presidency of the Buenos Aires Justicialist Party, the battle for Senate leadership reels on, indicating that both camps are preparing for further confrontation. This situation is compounded by the upcoming discussions scheduled for Thursday, where attempts will be made to resolve the impasse over the Senate's vice presidencies, a position of considerable strategic power within the provincial political landscape.

Given the prominent role both Kicillof and Máximo Kirchner play in the political arena, the implications of their ongoing struggle extend beyond mere party politics; they reflect the broader challenges facing Peronism in navigating internal conflicts. As they each seek to consolidate their influence, the potential for a broader split within the party remains a looming threat, affecting not only their immediate political future but also the stability of the provincial government in the lead-up to future elections.
