"These are just political differences": The Buenos Aires government called for respect for Axel Kicillof in the Peronist internal affairs.

Amid the dispute within Peronism over the direction of the Justicialist Party, Axel Kicillof 's administration denied having maintained contact with former President Cristina Kirchner to discuss the formation of the lists for the Buenos Aires elections. Kicillof's Cabinet demanded respect for the governor's leadership in the province.

During the TN program "A dos voces," the Minister of Government of the Province of Buenos Aires, Carlos Bianco , spoke about the current relationship between the Kicillof government and the former president and current head of the national PJ and specified: " There is no negotiation with Cristina. We are working and will continue to collaborate for unity, but unfortunately so far we have not been able to make much progress in that regard ."

In this regard, Bianco asserted that Kicillof's circle is not trying to "retire" Cristina Kirchner and defended the two-time president. "We don't want her to leave; she is an essential figure for us. We were part of her militancy, many of us were part of her government. We are proudly Kirchnerists . There is no argument, only differences in political tactics, and I believe that with good dialogue, understanding, and respect for the role Kicillof must play at this stage, we will be able to get things back on track," Bianco commented.

These statements come amid tensions between both sides within Peronism, fueled by Kicillof's recent decision to split the provincial elections. The former president's camp asserted that this decision would benefit La Libertad Avanza, especially after the victory in the city of Buenos Aires. Bianco, however, shared a different view: " The situation in both districts is not comparable. Five provinces split their elections. Except for CABA, the ruling party won in all of them."

Bianco's statements also came after a meeting between Cristina and various mayors close to Kicillof who are influential in the province, which revived rumors of an attempt to delegitimize the governor in his province. Bianco dismissed this version and asserted that "no one is trying to sabotage the provincial government." "There were political discussions that didn't have the solution we wanted, but that's far from the idea that someone is sabotaging us ," he acknowledged.

To conclude his speech, the minister showed another gesture of rapprochement, declaring: "We will do everything possible to work together, respecting the governor's position and integrating all sectors in a cross-cutting and consensual manner."
