The countdown to the presidential elections has begun, which might mark a before and following in national democratic history, faced with the concrete possibility that a “newcomer” to politics, like the libertarian candidate Javier Milei, with no party structure or experience of management, wins the victory. In that sense, The candidates plan their campaign closings in the midst of a climate of uncertainty and political scandalssuch as that of Martín Insaurralde’s trip with Sofía Clerici, the investigation of “Chocolate” Rigau and the president’s criminal complaint once morest Milei.
Given the triumph of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) in the primaries last August, which finds the national deputy feeling like a winner with a view to next week’s elections, the Minister of Economy and presidential candidate of Unión por la Patria (UxP) , Sergio Massa, and the opponent of Together for Change (JxC), Patricia Bullrich, They fight to force Milei to compete in a runoff on November 19 and thus prevent it from being imposed in the first round.
The main economic outlook less than 10 days before the elections
Both Massa and Bullrich, especially following the incorporation of Rodríguez Larreta as the new “patrician” of their electoral army, They will insist this week on the search for the most moderate voters who still doubt who to support next Sunday at the polls. Each one following their script, they have made an effort in recent days to challenge the moderates and the undecided, demanding that they vote in a reasoned manner, while on both sides of the divide they insist that Milei represents, at a minimum, “a leap into the void.”
Despite criticism from rivals at the polls, Optimism reigns in LLA. “Our expectation is to try to get closer to 40 points,” he informed Argentine News a source of that space. “If you can win in the first round, great; if not, get as close as possible,” she added. In case of going to a runoff, those around Milei understand that the rival would be Massa in that instance: “Together for Change we see it as a comfortable third,” they say.
In any case, regarding the Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory Primaries (PASO) at LLA they seek to reinforce inspection work. “Many volunteers are signing up to join the existing structures,” said the source consulted by the news agency. In this sense, it is expected that union activists linked to Luis Barrionuevo will also be in charge of “taking care” of Milei’s ballots, following the libertarian leader’s approach to the gastronomic union leader.
In that sense, this alliance opened a flank in the discursive wall around the deputy, through which his political opponents in recent days managed to filter criticism towards the figure of the strident economist. “To many Milei voters, to many boys above all, The pact with Barrionuevo threw them off the axis, because it agreed with the most rancid caste to manage social plans in exchange for oversight,” remarked a bullrichismo source in dialogue with Argentine News. “He made a pact with the devil, he put the worst caste into his space. With Barrionuevo it became blurred, I think Milei loses there“he insisted.
Milei prepares his campaign closing and arrives optimistically at the general elections
Milei is finalizing details for the closing of the campaign that he will lead next Wednesday at the Movistar Arena Stadium as he did in the preview of the PASO. On the way to the general elections on October 22, the libertarian is optimistic and hopeful Therefore, he hopes to complete his proselytizing obligations before more than 15 thousand adherents to his cause, in an event that will have him as the main speaker.
The announcement was published on the social networks of the libertarian party, from where they also revealed that the liberal thinker Alberto Benegas Lynch, one of Milei’s top references in economic matters, will be present at the event. From LLA they are confident regarding the electoral performance of the space on October 22 and assure that The election will configure “the death certificate of Kirchnerism”.
Javier Milei: “The numbers show that we are going to win, the discussion is whether in the first or second round”
In the last days, The deputy took on greater importance following President Alberto Fernández accused him of having generated the exchange rate run. that placed the parallel dollar above $1000 and criminally denounced him for it. From JxC they also targeted him, which caused him to appear in the main media.
The strategy adopted by the president did not go down well with the environment of the Minister of Economy, since it helped the libertarian to focus the campaign on the attacks once morest him. He even called his first press conference since he took public office at the Bull Market Offices of his candidate for head of the Buenos Aires government, Ramiro Marra.
In his last activities, Milei led a caravan in the province of Salta, one of the districts where he won the PASO, even without having visited it, where he was received by libertarian sympathizers. Within the framework of the tour, the presidential candidate remarked: “This impoverishing model inexorably leads to hyperinflation and that has nothing to do with us. I have only been in politics for almost two years. Are they going to blame the disaster on me? Why aren’t they more serious? Why don’t they take care of the problems?” “We are going to beat them at the national level and with the help of Piparo in the last hideout K: the province of Buenos Aires,” he predicted.
Bullrich prepares to tour the interior and close the campaign in the bastion of Insaurralde
Bullrich prepares a tour of the interior in the final sprint of the campaign that will be crowned with a grand final act in Lomas de Zamora, the stronghold of Martín Insaurraldeformer Chief of Staff and mayor involved in the scandal over the luxurious trip through the Mediterranean Sea with the model Sofía Clerici.
In the last week on the way to the general elections on October 22, Bullrich scheduled his first closing of the campaign for Monday, at 5 p.m., in the Plaza Barrancas de Belgrano, located in the Belgrano neighborhood of the City of Buenos Aires with the intention of undertaking a tour of the interior of the country and thus visiting five provinces.
What will Patricia Bullrich’s raid of closing events be like and which ones will she include Mauricio Macri?
On Tuesday, the Together for Change candidate will visit San Juan, Mendoza and San Luis, with the aim of strengthening its performance in three of the provinces in which Milei won the PASO. She will do the same on Wednesday Córdoba and Santa Felands in which LLA also hit the ground, even displacing Juan Schiaretti himself, the current governor of Cordoba.
But the greatest expectations are placed on Thursday’s event, in the municipality of Lomas de Zamora, lands of Martín Insaurralde, where he will lead the last act of the campaign, prior to the start of the electoral ban on Friday. This is an impact call following images of the province’s former Chief of Staff on a luxury yacht with Sofía Clerici in Marseille were leaked, which earned him his position in Axel Kicillof’s government and his candidacy for councilor in Hills.
In line with Javier Milei, Luis Barrionuevo called Patricia Bullrich a “terrorist” and she responded: “You were always a criminal”
The episode was quickly repudiated by Patricia Bullrich, who took advantage of the presidential debates, mostly the second one at the UBA Law School, to attack the official candidate. The PRO holder in use of the license argued for its closure “as a symbol of what the case means, not an error by Martín Insaurralde as Sergio Massa says, but rather a matrix of corruption that has been looting the country for years and years“.
“Our strategy is to visit large urban centers where we are going to win votes that will add up. We are going to close in the second important cities, there was a vote that surprised us and we believe that it is recoverable for Together for Change,” he expressed.
In the coming days it is expected that Bullrich insists on the importance of having work teamspolitical muscles and trained leaders with management experience to carry out the transformations that, according to their criteria, Argentina needs.
In that sense, with the intention of settling differences with former president Mauricio Macri and pay to space unit, Bullrich added it to its activities, and will even be present on tours of the Buenos Aires cities of Pergamino and Junín. “This is a terminal moment, it is not a time for improvisation,” emphasized the source close to the former Minister of National Security consulted by Argentine News.
Patricia Bullrich blamed Massa for the escalation of the blue: “The only thing it does is deepen the crisis”
On the other hand, he valued the incorporation of the Buenos Aires mayor to the team of a possible Bullrich Government: he would be his Chief of Staff. “People asked us to be together and now we are together. We had to go through an internal process to define leadership and now it is good that Horacio is more committed, because if there is something good that Horacio has, it is his management capacity,” he indicated.
“We are going through a moment of uncertainty and madness as a country, and Horacio’s rationality is combined with Patricia’s leadership, determination and courage. Horacio is going to be the maker of the changes that Patricia comes to implement in the country” , he remarked. The same source said that he sees Bullrich “growing step by step” and “comfortably entering the runoff”. Furthermore, he considered that, on the side of the ruling party, the Martín Insaurralde affair and the case of Julio “Chocolate” Rigau should make a dent in Massa’s electoral performance, in the same way as the crazy levels of inflation that are registered in Argentina. .
Massa prepares his campaign closing with a call for national unity
Massa will spend the last week of the campaign with three closing events on different days, where The axes will be the call for “a Government of national unity with a federal perspective” and the presentation of proposals to “get out of the crisis with more work, production and development”, along with a security plan.
Heading towards the general elections next Sunday the 22nd, Massa will start the countdown with a participation in Mirtha Legrand’s television programby Canal 13. Together with his wife and owner of Aysa, Malena Galmarini, and the actress and host Moria Casán, in a couple with Fernando “Pato” Galmarini, Massa will be this Sunday at 8:30 p.m. Mirtha’s Night.
Sergio Massa, between the economic shock and the need to resume the initiative
In addition to this, he is scheduled to appear alongside the Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillof, next Tuesday at 4 p.m. at the Arsenal club stadium, in Sarandí, to celebrate Peronist Loyalty Day. Under the motto “All and United on Loyalty Day“, from UxP they are working on a large celebration, similar to the event in Ensenada, that makes it possible to close the gap with the libertarian Milei, expressed in the PASO, and that guarantees a photo of unity behind the candidacies.
Although from the environment of the provincial president and the minister They were responsible for clarifying that it is not a closing act, this is one of the last activities that they will carry out in the run-up to the electoral ban that will begin next Friday, although it will not be the only one. In Mayor Ferraresi’s lands, the idea is to concentrate militancy, social organizations, the CGT and CTA, governors and mayors of Greater Buenos Aires.
The call will take place before completing their proselytizing tours “inside, in some factory, with workers”he indicated to Argentine News a source close to UxP. In this way, the head of the Palacio de Hacienda would close his campaign at the national level on Thursday the 19th.
Massa pointed out once morest the supposed “arbitrators” of the rise of the blue dollar: “Until I see them in gray, I won’t stop”
“The idea of our space is show Massa in an executive role, in full action and explaining the measures that were announced and those that are to come in search of alleviating the suffering of the people,” said the official source consulted by the agency. “We are working on the concept of responsibility, in the face of the irresponsibility of other political leaders, with their incendiary phrases that made the ‘blue’ dollar skyrocket,” he added, referring to Milei and Marra.
“We are going to continue showing a federalist Massa and also to insist on the idea of national unity, of forming a Government with the best,” he noted. “And above all, a Massa showing concrete facts and on the side of the workers,” he remarked. “At this moment Massa is making a mark his imprint, his centrality and his leadership capacity. And everything we have been doing reflects what a Government with Massa as president would be like,” the source added.
After the August elections, Massa managed to redirect more of his attention to the campaign although in recent days, due to the new record of the blue dollar that broke the $1000 barrier and the inflation data, had to reschedule his agenda and suspend visits to the provinces of Mendoza, San Juan and Entre Ríos to attend to the emergencies of the Ministry of Economy.
The Tigrense, focused on disrupting the caves managed by financial speculators that generate upward movements in the blue dollar, remarked: “I would rather lose the election, but send those who play with Argentines’ savings to prison”.
Without a doubt, UxP’s objective remains the same since the campaign began before the PASO: reach the runoff and polarize with Milei in the four weeks that will separate the October 22 election from the hypothetical November 19 runoff. Massa’s team assures that this objective would be close to being achieved, in the process of achieving it they value that the UxP candidate appears “serene, with the capacity to work and with the authority to make changes.”
