Juan Doe mockingly raised the hypothetical case of a progressive and feminist woman from an upper-class neighborhood in CABA, a Public Relations student at Di Tella, who asked Alberto Fernández for a photo. He also used insults related to Fernández's weight and alluded to supposed thefts, scams, and violence against women, in addition to calling him a taxi driver. According to Doe, something like that could only happen because of having "Kirchnerism in one's blood." #Feminismo #PolíticaArgentina #CABA (translated)

La Derecha Diario reported that a special session called by the opposition did not gather the 129 deputies needed to reach a quorum. According to the outlet, the session aimed to ratify the Senate's rejection of DNU 70/23 by Javier Milei, discuss a "family debt" law, and extend the emergency for disability. The outlet described the session as driven by Kirchnerism to repeal the decree. #Argentina #PolíticaArgentina #CrisisPolítica (translated)

The Oracle of Trenque Lauquen stated that the message of Kirchnerism to the interior of the country, the provinces, and their governors was that it only cared about the conurbano. It also claimed that the movement promoted the expansion of slums in the interior as a model for the country. Regarding a person he did not identify, he said that they should go to prison along with their mother and be considered a target. #Argentina #Política #Kirchnerismo (translated)

The translator stated that the Kirchnerista deputy from Buenos Aires, Agustina Propato, had used passes from the Chamber of Deputies three times to travel to Bariloche.

ElBuni presented some statements from Alberto Fernández as an explanation for the failure of Kirchnerism. According to the text he shared, Fernández attributed the negative aspects of his government to having followed Cristina's instructions, said that he was forced to do so, and maintained that if he had paid more attention to her, the situation would have been worse. https://t.co/ufkZexLkX2 #Argentina #Gobierno #Kirchnerismo (translated)

Fede Sturzenegger stated that a tweet from Flor Carignano about DNU 70/23 showed, in his opinion, that Kirchnerism was against the benefits that the norm had granted to Argentines. He described it as a force protecting the "elite" and claimed that its proposals would lead to stagnation and poverty. In defending the decree, Sturzenegger said that after the repeal of the Rental Law, four times more apartments were being published and that prices had dropped by more than 30% in real terms. He also stated that, since the DNU, the prices of medications had fallen by 20% in real terms; domestic tickets by 51%; and tourist packages by 40%. He added that in 2025 there were 33 million passengers and that international connections from cities in the interior increased by 70%. Regarding foreign trade, he attributed part of the 63% drop in appliance prices and the 43% drop in textiles to the changes in the decree. He also said that more than 750,000 satellite internet connections allowed access for almost 3 million people in the interior, and that tourism reforms had increased the number of agencies by almost 40% and employment in the sector by more than 10%. Sturzenegger pointed out that some labor and land provisions had been taken to Congress, while others had been challenged in court. He stated that the DNU had removed trade restrictions, reduced paperwork, and allowed contracts in the chosen currency, among other changes. He concluded that the debate about the decree should be kept in mind in the elections of the following year. #DNU70 #Kirchnerismo #Argentina (translated)

Fede Sturzenegger stated that, in the debate over the privatization of Aysa, attention should focus on the Brazilian operator Arcos and not on the local partners. According to a Latin American water specialist he had spoken to, Arcos had won a significant portion of the concessions in Brazil and had quickly improved the quality and access to the service; he described the case of Rio de Janeiro as particularly noteworthy. Sturzenegger claimed that, in his opinion, the main benefit of the process was to remove a potential focus of corruption from the state. He congratulated Luis Caputo and Diego Chaher for carrying out the privatization and thanked President Javier Milei for continuing to reduce the size of the state, something he said would contribute to a fairer country. #Privatización #Corrupción #AguasLatinoamérica (translated)

The spokesman stated that AySA had been privatized that day for US$ 340 million. He argued that Néstor Kirchner had nationalized it 20 years earlier with the argument of recovering water sovereignty and used an insult related to his mental health. He also claimed that Argentines had paid US$ 13.4 billion in taxes to finance subsidies, waste, salaries of employees who, according to him, did not work, price gouging by contractors, and a looting by officials that he described as outrageous. #AySA #privatización #Argentina (translated)

Agustín Laje maintained that as Jair Bolsonaro's poll numbers dropped, Argentine media increasingly repeated that his victory would not be favorable to Javier Milei. According to Laje, they aimed to instill the idea that Bolsonaro had won, but Milei had lost, even though he had traveled to Brazil to support Bolsonaro at the beginning of his campaign. He also asked whether it wasn't important for Milei that Kirchnerism could not finance its 2027 campaign with money from Lula and Brazil. #Milei #Bolsonaro #Argentina (translated)

Mati Smith stated that in C5N they had recognized that Lula financed the campaigns of Kirchnerism. He also mentioned a comment according to which, by 2027, they needed Lula to be president to help them defeat Milei. Smith referred to those mentioned as mercenaries and anti-patriots. https://t.co/SYsrwqWSGd #Política #Argentina #Lula (translated)

DAN argued that those who spoke of the Argentine community in X, retirees, Swifties, students, or "the people" were actually referring to a small circle of Kirchnerist individuals. As examples, he mentioned retirees linked to ATE, three attendees with dyed green hair who had gone to see Taylor Swift, and ten members of a student center who, as he wrote, had been taking the CBC for eight years. He accused that group of confusing their own bubble with the entirety of society and attributing the representation of 47 million Argentines to just a few individuals. He added that reality ended up harshly refuting them. #Argentina #Política #Sociedad (translated)

DAN claimed that those who spoke of "Twitter Argentina," retirees, Swifties, students, or the people were actually referring to groups within their own bubble and not to society at large. As examples, he mentioned Kirchnerist retirees from ATE, three attendees of a Taylor Swift concert, and ten members of a student center who, as he wrote, had been studying for eight years. He also stated that these people took small groups—five, according to his calculations—as representatives of 47 million Argentines and ended up believing their own claims. He concluded by saying that reality eventually refuted them conclusively. #Argentina #Política #Sociedad (translated)

DAN stated that those who spoke of "Twitter Argentina," retirees, swifties, students, or the people were actually referring to small groups from their own political bubble. As examples, he mentioned kirchneristas from ATE, three women who had attended a Taylor Swift concert, and ten members of a student center who, according to what he wrote, had been taking the CBC for eight years. He also resorted to derogatory expressions about the appearance of the swifties. He claimed that those people confused their surroundings with society as a whole and that by generalizing based on a few, they believed they represented 47 million Argentines. He added that reality would ultimately disprove them, expressing it in vulgar terms. #Argentina #Política #Sociedad (translated)

Jonatan Viale stated that the left was waiting for the votes of the poorest sectors to balance the count. He also claimed that that day the Kirchnerism had joked about Brazil saying that they were still missing the votes from "La Matanzinha," and linked that expression to his accusation that they needed those people to remain poor. #Política #Elecciones #Desigualdad (translated)
