Internal tensions within Argentine Peronism have intensified following public criticisms from former Chief of Cabinet Aníbal Fernández. Fernández stated that “La Cámpora le hizo mal al peronismo” (La Cámpora did harm to Peronism), arguing that the organization’s actions do not align with his vision of the movement. He emphasized that political leadership should not be imposed and noted that his differences with Máximo Kirchner are not personal.

Political friction has also escalated on social media. Members of La Cámpora, including Deputy Paula Penacca, have engaged in public disputes with journalists from El Destape. These conflicts centered on disagreements regarding political strategy and the treatment of party leaders such as Governor Axel Kicillof, specifically concerning the strategic purpose of Cristina Kirchner’s defense before the UN Human Rights Committee.
