Argentina's Berenice Iañez Criticizes Cristina Fernández de Kirchner

Legislator Berenice Iañez, a Buenos Aires deputy aligned with Governor Axel Kicillof’s faction, publicly rebuked former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner during a free lecture titled “Hebe de Bonafini.” Iañez questioned Kirchner’s current leadership, called her “quite mistaken,” and criticized the internal decision‑making of the Kirchnerist movement and the performance of the Frente de Todos coalition. She praised Kicillof as a renewal figure for Peronism and warned against concentrating candidate selection in a few hands.

The remarks sparked an immediate reaction from members of La Cámpora and other Kirchnerist sectors, highlighting ongoing internal tensions within the Argentine Peronist party as it prepares for future electoral battles.
