KEY POINTS

  • Kicillof launched a New York tour criticizing Milei's economic management.
  • At The New School, he said Milei destroys jobs and surrenders strategic resources.
  • At Gracie Mansion, he told global leaders Argentina faces a 'catastrophe,' not a miracle.
  • He advocated for regional integration to seize opportunities in a changing world order.
  • Milei is in New York simultaneously for the UN General Assembly.

Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof used a two-day visit to New York to directly challenge President Javier Milei's economic narrative before international leaders and investors. Speaking at The New School on Tuesday, Kicillof argued that Milei's policies are destroying jobs, wages, and industry while handing over strategic resources. He called for stronger regional integration to leverage Argentina's scientific and industrial capacity in a shifting global order.

The following day at Gracie Mansion, Kicillof addressed a breakfast attended by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, European Council President António Costa, and Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley. He declared there is no "economic miracle" but rather a "true catastrophe," citing thousands of lost jobs, daily factory closures, and falling wages. Kicillof framed the dispute as a battle over Argentina's role in a new world order not yet written.

“There is no miracle; we are suffering a true catastrophe.”

— Axel Kicillof

Milei is simultaneously in New York for the UN General Assembly, creating a parallel diplomatic track. Kicillof's agenda combined academic forums with meetings with investment funds and financial representatives to present an alternative development model.
