(N.A.) - Amidst the political tension that marked the closing of lists for the legislative elections in the province of Buenos Aires, President Javier Milei reappeared this Sunday with a message full of criticism and warnings.

From his X account, the president referred to the electoral scenario with a heated tone, without directly naming opposition forces, but making his interpretation of the situation clear: “When things like last night happen, I wonder what the idiots who accuse us of violating the Republic because our manners are not to their liking think. They don't realize the monster we are facing. In fact, the monster is alive because when they see it, they pee on their feet. VLLC!”

The comment came hours after the agreement between La Libertad Avanza and the PRO party to share lists in the Buenos Aires province was confirmed, in a negotiation fraught with internal conflict, mistrust, and conditions imposed by Karina Milei. While there was a picture of unity, the process left wounds, anger, and divisions in both camps, while Peronism also experienced a turbulent closure, with fractures on the surface following the distancing between Axel Kicillof and hardline Kirchnerism.

Minutes before her main message, Milei had already shown signs of displeasure by republishing a post by libertarian influencer Nicolás Pareja, who denounced the postponement of the official closing of lists due to a power outage as part of"the same old regrettable maneuvers."

He also shared supportive remarks from allied leaders such as the mayor of Tres de Febrero, Diego Valenzuela, and former governor Carlos Ruckauf, in what was interpreted as a move to flex his political muscles amid an electoral climate that promises to be complex for the ruling party.

“The fight is between Kirchnerism and freedom, between the status quo and change, between poverty and progress,” Milei summarized, using the now-familiar “VLLC” (Long Live Freedom, Damn It) as the hallmark of her public appearances.

Meanwhile, the closing of the lists highlighted the lack of cohesion within the Peronist opposition, with Kicillof's leadership questioned by sectors loyal to Cristina and Máximo Kirchner. The Buenos Aires province governor managed to maintain his position in five of the eight electoral districts, but internal differences continue to generate uncertainty ahead of September 7.
