During the closing of the 3rd Buenos Aires productive congress held in Mar del Plata, the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillofhe launched one of the hardest criticism so far against President Javier Milei.
In a speech loaded with political and economic content, Axel Kicillof He accused the head of state to execute “an extermination plan for the national industry”, responsible directly for the loss of more than 200 thousand formal jobs since the beginning of their management.
Kicillof did not spare in qualifiers when referring to the economic policies of the national government. He affirmed that there is a “obscene promotion of deindustrialization” and that from the libertarian administration a model that despises national production, SMEs and formal employment is promoted.
According to the governor, the official discourse is summarized in a brutal slogan: “Adástico or die”, pronounced, according to him, with “enjoyment and pleasure” by the executive officials. The Buenos Aires president said that the national government “enjoys” when it closes an industry or a job is lost, and that this attitude reveals an ideological conception that despises the Argentine productive apparatus.
“Nothing was never seen, not even in the worst moments of neoliberal experiments,” Kicillof said, comparing the current situation with other critical stages of the country’s economic history. In your speech, Kicillof He detailed the specific effects of libertarian policies: falling consumption by 10%, destruction of more than 200 thousand formal jobs, salary and retirement stagnation, and closing companies in key sectors such as fishing, textile industry and tourism.
“Everything is standing and there is no sector that is doing well,” he said, in a gloomy diagnosis about the country’s productive. The governor also questioned the exchange policy of the government, noting that the “ironed dollar” harms exporters and the national industry, while workers’ income are still depressed.
Accusation
In that sense, he accused Milei of having breached his campaign promises, such as not intervening in currency markets, something that, according to Axel Kicillofit is happening systematically.
The governor contrasted the national model with which he promotes from the province of Buenos Aires, claiming the role of the State as a promoter of productive development. Within that framework, he highlighted the creation of the Moreno II Industrial Park, formalized through Decree 646/2025, as an example of an active policy to promote employment and investment.
