Kicillof Delivers Homes and Showcases Bahía Blanca Water Works, Escalating Critique of Milei’s Agenda

The governor cast the Bahía Blanca visits as proof of provincial delivery versus a national pledge of zero public works.

Overview

  • Kicillof handed over eight homes in Bahía Blanca’s UOM neighborhood, a project reported at 237 million pesos, during a midday event with municipal and union leaders.
  • He inspected progress on the CAF‑financed Patagonia–Bosque Alto aqueduct, an eight‑kilometer link with two new cisterns totaling 40 million liters, budgeted at 19,228 million pesos for over 300,000 residents.
  • The province signed local infrastructure agreements, including a potable‑water network in Tierras Argentinas, public lighting and low‑voltage upgrades, and a 503‑million‑peso sewer replacement and plaza works in Coronel Rosales.
  • In his speech, he attacked the national government’s labor reform as precarization, warned of widespread layoffs, and said none of the dollars borrowed by President Milei will fund what Bahía Blanca needs.
  • The Bahía tour followed Thursday’s inaugurations in Luján of the Puente Gogna and the refurbished Manuel Belgrano recycling plant, with the 3,217‑million‑peso bridge built to improve river flow and reduce flooding.
