Cristina Kirchner confirmed that she will be a candidate in the province of Buenos Aires.
In an interview broadcast by C5N, Cristina Kirchner confirmed that she will run for the province of Buenos Aires , specifically in the third electoral district , one of the historical strongholds of Peronism. The former president said this during a chat with Gustavo Sylvestre on the program Minuto Uno , where she also explained that her decision had already been made and had been previously discussed in several meetings with leaders.
"Yes, she's going to be a candidate, she's going to be a candidate, she's going to be a candidate," she repeated live, emphatically emphasizing her response. She added that those who doubted her were either uninformed or unwilling to believe it. "Who had I told no?" she asked, making it clear that her candidacy was not a surprise within Peronism.
Asked why she would compete in that territory, Kirchner emphasized that the third electoral district is key for the movement. "Someone thinks that if Peronism doesn't do well in September in the provincial elections, we could do well in October," she warned. She believes that if the ruling party loses in that race, the impact could extend beyond Buenos Aires.
"This could spread to the entire country," she said, referring to the potential domino effect. For the former president, a strong candidate in that region could be decisive in consolidating Peronism ahead of the general election. She also insisted that this is not a personal choice, but rather a collective effort to strengthen the party.
In another part of the interview, he responded to those who questioned whether his nomination would have any impact on the Buenos Aires legislature. "It's not a legislative issue, it's a matter of common sense," he stated, pointing out that what's at stake is much more than a seat. In his opinion, it's essential to present politically influential figures where Peronism needs to ensure results.
Kirchner also recalled the party's performance in the 2015 elections. "We are heading into the best election Peronism had in 2015, with 48 points in the first round," she noted. She emphasized that at that time they won in almost all of the provinces where Senate seats are currently being renewed, with exceptions such as the City of Buenos Aires and Entre Ríos. With this move, Cristina Kirchner seeks to sustain her electoral base in the most decisive territory in the country. The decision aligns with a strategy that prioritizes the terrain and seeks to guarantee competitiveness in October. The former president returns to the scene with the
