Axel Kicillof has accelerated the construction of his national project for 2027 through a political deployment that will begin before his own tours of the country. The Buenos Aires governor instructed ministers, mayors and trusted organisers to lead events in several provinces and expand the Movement for the Right to the Future. Their first mission will be to establish local reference points and prepare a network capable of supporting a possible presidential candidacy.
The operation assigns specific tasks. Carlos Bianco and Labour Minister Walter Correa will travel to Entre Ríos, where they will combine political and trade-union meetings; Agrarian Development Minister Javier Rodríguez will work in Santa Fe and Corrientes. Jorge Ferraresi will hold activities in Mendoza, while Daniel Gollán will travel to Chubut to promote the movement's health branch. National coordination has been placed in the hands of Community Development Minister Andrés Larroque.
The strategy seeks to connect the MDF with Peronist leaders, trade unions and social organisations before Kicillof steps up his own travel. Bianco said the governor would visit other provinces when his administrative schedule permits, both as governor and in his political role as president of the Buenos Aires Justicialist Party. Institutional agreements between Buenos Aires and other provincial governments are also part of the platform through which he hopes to build an alternative to Javier Milei's government.
That federal expansion, however, relies on a Buenos Aires municipal structure facing a decisive dispute. Kicillof again supported removing the two-consecutive-term limit for mayors, a restriction that could prevent about 80 local leaders from running again in 2027. Fernando Espinoza, Jorge Ferraresi, Gustavo Menéndez, Andrés Watson, Lucas Ghi and Ariel Sujarchuk are among those affected. Deputy Governor Verónica Magario also argued that voters should decide whether mayors remain in office.
Provincial senator Ayelén Durán's bill retains parliamentary status but remains blocked by a lack of votes. In 2025, the Buenos Aires Senate authorised unlimited re-election for legislators but excluded mayors after a 22–22 tie. The Renewal Front continues to oppose changing the rule it promoted a decade ago. To move forward, Kicillof's sector therefore needs either an agreement with La Cámpora or support from opposition lawmakers.
The sector aligned with Cristina Kirchner is considering backing the reform, but it has set a condition with national reach. If the Buenos Aires Legislature changes a law to remove the obstacles affecting mayors, it wants Congress to debate a measure linked to the former president's conviction and permanent ban from holding public office. Options mentioned include an amnesty or a law reviewing the effects of the ruling, although the two cases are legally different: one stems from a provincial statute and the other from a judicial decision.
The negotiation also covers vacancies on the Buenos Aires Supreme Court, the future of the PASO primaries and the 2027 electoral system. Máximo Kirchner said he was willing to speak with the governor and argued that the two groups are not on opposing sides. The next step requires reconciling their agendas: Kicillof needs to preserve the municipal network underpinning his movement while reaching an understanding with Cristina and Máximo Kirchner so that his federal expansion does not proceed from a divided provincial base.
