Ferraresi breaks with Kirchner, backs Kicillof for 2027 presidency

Former Avellaneda mayor Jorge Ferraresi publicly distanced himself from Cristina Kirchner's faction, endorsing Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof as the Peronist presidential candidate for 2027. This signals a deepening internal split within Argentina's ruling coalition ahead of the next election cycle, with Ferraresi citing Kirchner's refusal to lead as a key reason for his alignment.
