A video of Axel Kicillof has been circulating strongly on social media after a fragment of an interview conducted on the Infocielo Play streaming platform emerged, in which the Buenos Aires governor acknowledged that his mayors used resources from the Educational Fund to finance shows and different works for which they were assigned.
In the disseminated fragment, Kicillof referred to the previous functioning of the resources that the Province transfers to the municipalities and described some of the practices that occurred with those funds before the scrutiny prompted by Javier Milei.
“What happened before? The Educational Fund was often used by the mayors, it was money from the Province given to the municipalities to use in education, they used it to put on some kind of show, to pave,” the Kirchnerist governor asserted.
The Educational Fund is part of the transfer scheme that Buenos Aires municipalities receive and is linked to the financing of educational policies. For this reason, Kicillof's words allow us to confirm that the governor himself acknowledged the existence of these uses.
