Kicillof praised Cristina Kirchner on Loyalty Day, saying she is “unjustly imprisoned” and offered to “put his body on the line” for 2027.

On the occasion of the Día de la Lealtad, Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof and the Partido Justicialista (PJ) held commemorative events to advocate for the release of former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Kicillof publicly defended the former president, characterizing her as being "injustamente presa" (unjustly imprisoned) while expressing his willingness to lead efforts for the 2027 political cycle. During his address, he also issued criticisms of the current administration led by President Javier Milei.

Simultaneously, the PJ issued a formal statement denouncing what it describes as the "proscription" of Fernández de Kirchner. The party maintains that her current house arrest, resulting from a corruption case, is politically motivated and has called for her immediate liberation.
