The Argentine President, Javier Milei, urged the governor of the province of Buenos Aires Axel Kicillof to resign so that a federal intervention could be launched to restore the order, since the residents of that Argentine district were enraged on Thursday by the murder of a 7 -year -old girl. The perpetrators were identified as children under 14 and 17 and, therefore, would face no loads; In other words, they would be free to kill again. “We intervene in the province,” Milei insisted.

In an X publication aimed at @kicillofok, Milei emphasized that “I want to point out that you cannot work with someone like you who believes that criminals are the victims, while we believe that criminals are the bad ones and those who commit crimes (they should) pay for them.”

“His pro-criminal doctrine with roots in (the former judge of the Supreme Court Eugenio) Zaffaroni’s atrocious thought is the antithesis of the zero tolerance of Becker-Giuliani to which we (…) subscribe:“ The president continued.

“Second, (…) If you are interested in the well -being of the people of Buenos Aires, leave the way (that is, give up) and intervene in the province. In a year, we will end the violence,“ Milei also committed himself as he wondered if Kicillof was putting his political ambitions on the interests of the population.

Milei also highlighted the incompetence of “Kicillof” by managing security problems in his district.

In response, Kicillof asked Milei to “return to Buenos Aires the 750 billion pesos that took them away” and warned against the political use of Kim Gómez’s case. “Today is a sad day. I know that some use this to win a vote, benefit from pain and see if they can get an advantage,” said the governor and former Federal Economy Minister under President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (CFK).

However, he opposed the idea of ​​the national government to reduce the age of responsibility, as suggested by the Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich. In Kicillof’s opinion, young criminals should obtain support from the State to leave a crime life.

Supporting the Kicillof stand was the Congressman Máximo Kirchner, among other key opposition leaders who see the popularity of Milei decreasing in the midst of the growing poverty along with a negative image derived from the Cryptofiasco of $ Libra, the appointment of the judges of the Supreme Court (CSJN) by decision, as well as other decisions controversial by the president and her inner.

The justicialist (Peronist) of the province of Buenos Aires asked in a statement to what extent Milei “would continue to attack” the “democratically chosen” authorities of the district.
