A billboard sign for presidential candidate Javier Milei and Carolina Piparo who is running for the governorship of Buenos Aires province, is juxtaposed with photos of current Economy Minister Sergio Massa, also running for president, and current governor of Buenos Aires province Axel Kicillof, and reads in Spanish: "Kichnersimo or Freedom" in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023.
