The national Justicialist Party, led by Cristina Kirchner from her house arrest in the Constitución neighborhood, issued a statement repudiating the labor reform law pushed by the government. The statement specifically criticized Peronist legislators who supported the initiative, labeling them as adherents to "other interests" and contrary to the justicialist doctrine. This backlash occurs at a critical juncture when the Peronist bloc in the Senate is losing three legislators aligned with Peronist governors who support President Javier Milei.

This internal conflict within the Peronist Party highlights the growing rift as some legislators align themselves with the government's labor reforms, which the party leadership views as a betrayal. The law is seen as a significant departure from traditional Peronist values, which emphasize workers' rights and social justice. Kirchner’s condemnation reflects an ongoing struggle for control and ideological alignment within the party, especially in the context of the current political landscape under President Milei.

As the party navigates these challenges, the implications of this dissent could affect its future effectiveness and unity in the legislature. The criticism of the lawmakers who sided with the government's initiative may alienate them from the party base and create deeper divisions among Peronist ranks. This situation underscores the complexities of contemporary Argentine politics, where traditional allegiances are increasingly tested by new legislative agendas.
