Kicillof attacks Milei as 'ignorant', hints at 2027 run amid Kirchner rift

Buenos Aires governor Axel Kicillof escalated rhetoric against President Milei, calling him 'ignorant and insensitive' and citing rising suicides, while avoiding a formal candidacy announcement. The speech, delivered at a Movimiento al Futuro plenary, signals a potential break with Máximo Kirchner's faction and positions Kicillof for a 2027 presidential bid. The internal Peronist strife and electoral posturing are notable but do not alter near-term policy.
