Argentina
Posters with the slogans “Axel president” and “Cristina free” appeared in Recoleta, and Kicillof’s circle denied any link
The posters bore the signature of Movimiento Derecho al Futuro. Close to the Buenos Aires governor, they rejected having promoted the campaign and questioned its purpose ahead of an event by the group in Avellaneda.
On Friday, posters bearing the slogans “Axel president” and “Cristina free” appeared in different parts of Recoleta, along with the signature of Movimiento Derecho al Futuro, the political group associated with Axel Kicillof.
According to Perfil, people close to the Buenos Aires governor distanced themselves from the posting campaign and said it was not put up by that faction. “We would never put up a poster that says Axel President in 2026,” they told that outlet. They also said they had no certainty about who was behind the initiative and questioned the purpose of the campaign.
La Política Online also reported that sources close to Kicillof denied any connection to the posters and stressed that the MDF would not promote a slogan of that kind. That outlet added that, within the group, they even cast doubt on whether the images actually corresponded to posters placed in the city.
Clarín reported that officials in the Buenos Aires provincial government described it as an operation and said they did not know who financed and ordered the campaign. According to that newspaper, the posters appeared on a hundred billboards across the City of Buenos Aires, including the Avenida del Libertador corridor.
The appearance of the posters came one day before the event Kicillof will lead this Saturday in Avellaneda, where he will close the Movimiento Derecho al Futuro plenary at the National Technological University. Ten working groups are scheduled during the day, with the participation of activists, mayors, lawmakers and union leaders.
The episode comes amid the Peronist internal dispute and the differences between the sector aligned with Kicillof and the one that answers to Cristina Kirchner. La Política Online and Clarín linked the political reading of the posters to those tensions ahead of the MDF event.
La Política Online also added that some sources consulted attributed the posters to Enrique “Pepe” Albistur, while the rest of the media outlets did not mention that version.
