ARGENTINA: Milei guns for Kicillof
Argentina’s President Javier Milei attacked the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, with vim on 26 June while delivering the closing speech at the official launch of the electoral campaign of his far-right La Libertad Avanza (LLA) in the local legislative elections which are due to be held on 7 September. But while he festooned his speech with colourfully pejorative epithets directed at Kicillof, Milei’s fiercest criticism came days later after an adverse legal ruling by a US court ordered the Argentine state to hand over the 51% of the shares of the state-controlled energy company YPF, which was partially nationalised under the government of Cristina Fernández (2007-2015) in 2012, when Kicillof was serving as economy minister.
