The internal conflict of Peronism was once again exposed following statements made by the city legislator Berenice Iañez, aligned with Governor Axel Kicillof.
Her remarks, made days ago at a conference organized by the Association of Madres de Plaza de Mayo, sparked a strong reaction within Kirchnerism and reignited the conflict with the faction of the corrupt former president Cristina Kirchner.
During her speech, Iañez supported Kicillof's political leadership and questioned the role of Kirchnerism within the space.
In that context, she stated: “We are the country that when there is no beacon, we find it. A people that gave us San Martín, Rosas, Perón, Hebe, Néstor, Cristina, even though now she is quite mistaken and really annoying, and that gave us an Axel Kicillof. We are the best people in the world.”

The legislator also criticized the idea of political leadership from the figure of the former president. “When they come to tell me that a process will be ordered from a Shakespearean balcony, the comrades are becoming more like Romeo and Juliet, and that didn’t end well,” she expressed.
In another part of her speech, she referred to the internal tensions within the space and the decisions of the Buenos Aires governor.
“One wonders why comrade Axel doesn’t tell them to go to hell, why doesn’t he kick them all out, why are we financing comrades who hit us so much. But we shouldn’t have those discussions anymore. Axel is showing that he knows a lot about tactics and also about strategy, because he knows what the real fights are,” she affirmed.
Iañez also recalled the disagreements regarding the splitting of the Buenos Aires elections and stated: “Even at a PJ Congress, they threatened us and mom threatened us, saying that the Province of Buenos Aires is going to catch fire. And that was a threat. It was very difficult to go through that.”

The response from Kirchnerism
The statements generated significant discomfort in Cristina Kirchner's circle, where they hold both Kicillof and Minister Andrés “Cuervo” Larroque responsible for the legislator's remarks.
From that sector, they pointed out: “She is a leader of Cuervo and Axel. In fact, it was Axel who personally called to have her included in the list of legislators in the last election. This time they crossed the line.”
They also questioned the content of the criticisms: “Saying that Cristina is quite annoying, when she is imprisoned and has limitations on visits, is a disaster from a human perspective, more than from a political one.”
In the same vein, they considered that “what Iañez said is something that Milei could say, not a Peronist” and emphasized that “a limit was crossed from a human perspective.”
From Kirchnerism, they also defended the former president's public exposure by stating: “The balcony is the only place she has to be in contact with the people who love her. They should be more respectful.”
Leaders close to Cristina and Máximo Kirchner also linked these statements to the current relationship between the former president and the Buenos Aires governor. “There are sectors within Kicillof's faction that think what Iañez said, that Cristina is annoying, but she verbalized it. They don’t fully grasp the situation from a human perspective,” they indicated.
In that context, they also associated the episode with recent decisions made by the provincial leader: “Iañez's comments are directly related to Axel's. They lost the human dimension. They lost sight of the fact that CFK is imprisoned. This is not a political issue.”
