"Milei put Cristina in prison": Axel Kicillof blamed the President for the former vice president's arrest.

Governor Axel Kicillof blamed Javier Milei for the arrest of Cristina Kirchner , who is under house arrest after being sentenced to six years in prison in the Vialidad case. "Milei put Cristina in prison," the former Minister of Economy emphatically stated regarding the president's role in the former vice president's legal situation.

Kicillof spoke this Sunday on El Destape, where he asserted that the President "is someone who put Cristina in prison." He also reflected on the electoral campaign ahead of the provincial elections on September 7, which his administration has suspended from the October national elections amid tensions with the La Cámpora faction.

"Milei is a guy who one day issued a statement saying he was going to intervene in the Province of Buenos Aires, but he's also someone who imprisoned Cristina ," the governor recalled.

"Do you think he put her in jail?" journalist Roberto Navarro asked. "This undoubtedly happened during Milei's administration. This requires a government of this kind. I've assigned him responsibility for this from day one ," he emphasized.

On the other hand, Kicillof considered that Javier Milei "insults because he doesn't have a single argument to explain what he does, or to discuss or debate."

In this regard, he recalled that he has been a "favorite target of her insults," in relation to Milei's remarks about the governor.

"They're going to look for ways to create a negative image for those of us who have been in the opposition since the beginning of their experiment, so that there are people who won't want to vote or support them," he said.

During the interview, and already in the context of the campaign, the Buenos Aires governor addressed the fake video shared by Manuel Adorni on his social media. " I think they're going to run a sleazy campaign, using all the tools available, particularly social media," he accused once again, adding, "They're going to use resources, and even technology, to make you say things you don't say ."

Kicillof didn't miss the opportunity to address the campaign launch held by the coalition formed by the PRO and La Libertad Avanza on Thursday in La Matanza , and in a teasing tone, he maintained that the campaign began "with false news." "Milei is going to La Matanza [they said], and they made a foray there, I think, for 4 minutes ," he accused, later adding: "The saddest thing is that they went there secretly to take a photo and then ran away."

Then, as a joke, Kicillof also addressed the photo that was circulated showing several leaders of both parties, all wearing purple jackets bearing the logo of the ruling party: " They're graduating from Macri's regime, and they were made to wear the purple promotional badge, but it's all difficult to explain," he said.

Regarding that same event, the Buenos Aires governor had already questioned the sign held by the candidates during the interview, referring to "this imposture of that Never Again sign" as a "provocation." "It's always been used, but in the mouths of deniers like them, it has a different meaning," he stated.

Kicillof referred several times during the interview to Alberto Fernández's administration as a "failed experience" and "a government that went wrong," and added about Fuerza Patria that, in creating the alliance that brings together sectors of Massismo, La Cámpora, and his label Movimiento Derecho al Futuro, "there was a mature decision."

"The discussions, the differences, the debates will continue," he said, but clarified: "It was done conscientiously, and a campaign is also being carried out where different sectors have a very clear objective , and I think that is very positive."

The Buenos Aires governor also called for a reformulation of the ways in which people engage with those they represent, although he maintained that "it's not something that will be resolved one day." "Fuerza Patria is a positive milestone: when we need to stand back to back, we stand back to back," he added.
