Argentines will announce this Sunday who they prefer to head the Government, which begins on 10 December. This is the strange role he plays. Concurrent and Mandatory Open Primary (PASO). More than a mechanism for selecting party candidates, its results will read as a highly approximate survey of parties’ voting intentions. October 22 elections. Peronism, in power, is at a disadvantage this time. Major standard bearer Sergio Massathe current Minister of Economy of a country with inflation in the triple digits, and Unprecedented, predatory poverty of nearly 40%. hand in hand Cristina Fernandez de Kirchneranointed with one’s finger Alberto Fernandez Peronism as a presidential candidate in 2019, “come back better”. Defeated right-wing Mauricio Macri but under the weight of the pandemic $45,000 million in debt The previous administration’s contract and, moreover, their own mistakes and fights made things worse in four years. The failure of the Fernández family was colossal. They don’t talk to each other. They barely quelled their grudges to bless Masa.
The minister’s ambition led him to the candidacy of the mayor of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, and Patricia Bullrichand far less to the far right javier mile. They believe they will become a reservoir of collective frustration.
“I want to invite you to vote on Sunday… We are not that failed society you speak of. we are not a goddamn country“. Massa’s call was specifically aimed at dispelling the specter of abstention that would harm the official party at the last moment. “It is the two-country model that is being discussed in the background,” he said. The pending issues of salary and social issues imply that the unpopular Fernández has the courage that he lacks. is doing.

“We are facing a moment when we have to put white on black and security policy It cannot be the subject of a political-election debate.” There was violence on the eve of PASO. In the poor suburbs of Buenos Aires 11 year old girl killed ringing his cell phone on the way to school and having a doctor at the door of his house. The capital police pressured the users of the train, which canceled the expedition, with rubber bullets and sticks. Human rights organizations hold him responsible, in addition to the death of a man who attended a demonstration they ordered not to vote on Sunday. The rise in the dollar price, which affected essentials with astonishing inertia, added another polish of tension to the hours before the primaries. There was such concern that even the rumor that PASO was suspended spread.

“Whatever they say, there are elections on Sunday,” said Bullrich, a version of River Plate. Isabel Diaz Ayuso. His rivalry with Rodríguez Larreta was not devoid of pitfalls. A half-century of Peronist guerrilla members, Larreta and Bullrich have in common a Cerrill anti-Peronism and a desire to implement a conservative agenda from the new administration’s zero minute. The hard hand of the police in the city of Buenos Aires and the province of Jujuy, where protests from the original communities erupted over attempts to privatize lithium, are seen as advances of the near future. The pollsters, beyond the events, one of the two candidates from that field will lead Argentina.
But surveys are never an exact science, especially in a country where a tradition of ambiguity is taking shape. Polls show Milei as a serious contender in this STEP. The economist and La Libertad Avanza candidate who emerged from a television meeting is much more daring than Bullrich and Rodríguez Larreta. Privatizing everything, removing severance pay, raising rates, lowering taxes and allowing the market to regulate one’s life, even allowing the sale of human organs.
Milei’s domination of the political scene has had a repulsive force that transcends the election reality. Vice-presidential candidate Victoria Villarruel shamelessly justifies the actions of the last military dictatorship (1976-83). It has become ‘natural’ for followers of La Libertad Avanza to break the minimum social consensus about past events. Last Thursday, three commemorative plaques belonging to missing students were destroyed with graffiti identifying them as terrorists. Offer to the capital’s mayoral candidate, Ramiro Marra the abolition of sex education in schools and the subscription of children’s parents to Porn Hub. Friday’s election ban didn’t stop Milei from gaining her support. Jair Bolsonaro. “Hello dear Javier”, the former president greeted him via a video disqualified from serving until 2030. “We have a lot in common. We defend the family, private property, the free market, freedom of expression, the right to self-defense.”
careful markets
Markets will pay close attention to the outcome of the ballot box. Some analysts argue that a good role for Massa would be viewed negatively. The minister had to juggle for PASO to thrive without a financial quake. Doha lent Argentina $775 million and with it paid off a debt. Massa will return this money in November when the IMF makes a negotiated payment of $7,500 million. If Massa gets beaten up this Sunday, it will be very difficult for him to continue as minister and the country could enter a dangerous transition by October.
