The mayor of Avellaneda, Jorge Ferraresi, resigned from his position and delegated the leadership of the municipality to his wife and Chief of Staff, Magdalena Sierra, who formally took charge of the local Executive.
The decision comes in a context marked by the growing political projection of the Kirchnerist leader towards the province of Buenos Aires, where his name is beginning to be established as a possible gubernatorial candidate in 2027.
Ferraresi's move occurs alongside the constitutional impossibility of reelection for the current governor, Axel Kicillof, which opens the internal dispute within Peronism for succession. In this scenario, the former mayor seeks to position himself within the political framework of the provincial government.
From the municipal environment, it was Sierra herself who confirmed the leave of absence and announced her assumption. In a message, she stated: “It is an honor to continue the path that Jorge Ferraresi started. With enormous dedication, he profoundly transformed our city and turned it into a model of management. My commitment is to take care of everything we built together and continue working, every day, so that Avellaneda keeps growing.”
Ferraresi has been part of the Movement Right to the Future (MDF) since its inception, the political space aligned with the so-called “axelism,” which maintains tensions with sectors linked to La Cámpora and the more hardline Kirchnerism.
