The ongoing internal conflict within the Peronist Party (PJ) in Buenos Aires, led by new president Axel Kicillof, is evident as disagreements persist in various municipalities. The primary elections scheduled for March 15 will see clashes between traditional Peronism and La Cámpora in eleven key districts. Among these, four municipalities, including Morón, Tres de Febrero, San Miguel, and General Pueyrredón, are highlighted due to their significant political contests.

In Morón, dubbed the "Heart of the West," the local struggle is particularly fierce. Former mayor Martín Sabbatella, who previously established himself in the area by opposing the Peronist factions in the Greater Buenos Aires area, has allied with La Cámpora. He faces off against the current mayor, Lucas Ghi, who succeeded Sabbatella and represents the more traditional side of Peronism. This rivalry reflects deeper ideological divisions within the party and could influence future governance in Morón.

The rivalry taking shape in these localities not only emphasizes the challenges within the PJ but also the broader implications for the political landscape in Argentina. With multiple municipalities potentially shifting allegiances, the outcomes of these primaries could signal a shift in power dynamics, impacting the direction of Peronism in the province and its relationship with the national party leadership. This contest highlights the necessity for the PJ to unify its factions if it hopes to remain a relevant political force moving forward.
