Writers, lawyers and references from different areas of culture circulated a request in which they expressed their decision to vote for the candidate of Unión por la Patria, Sergio Massabecause they consider that “it is necessary to establish a democratic cordon once morest the dangers of an authoritarian drift” of the candidate Javier Milei, with whom he competes towards the November 19 runoff.
The writing, titled “Electoral commitment: the second round has arrived”, bears the signature of personalities such as Beatriz Sarlo, Hinde Pomeraniec, Maristella Svampa, Graciela Fernandez Meijide, Carlos Altamirano and Roberto Gargarellaamong others.
Presidential debate: Massa and Milei do not agree on the regulations
“The public conduct of Milei and a good part of his team is contrary to the democratic culture that we promote to strengthen a pluralistic and peaceful political community; his explicit denial of the human rights pact enables a return of forms of political and state violence that we believed they had been overcome; and their plebiscitary government proposal anticipates a Caesarist and authoritarian practice that violates the national constitution,” the text of the request states.
“We hope that the majority of citizens share our commitment to the second round, but we do not therefore encourage any triumphalism,” apuntan.
The signatories consider that “in these elections there are no winners; there is a defeated society, mired in a social, economic and political crisis of enormous severity” and they call on “democratic forces” to assume “responsibility for the failure of many of the promises of the cycle that began 40 years ago, and commit to working together to repair the damage done.
“The consecration of a new democratic pact capable of leaving behind decades of failures and frustrations should constitute a minimum program for the next government,” they say.
In the requested, also signed by Oscar Cetrangol, Ruben Chababo, Adrian Gorelik, Claudia Hilb, Roy Hora, Alexander Katz, Lucas Martin, Federico Merke, Mario Pecheny, Martin Plot, Patricia Tappata, Hugo Vezzetti, They affirm that they “do not escape the fact that Massa’s trajectory, the mistakes of his economic management and the ambiguity of his proposals can generate serious doubts and fears.”
However, they point out that “it is necessary to establish a democratic cordon once morest the dangers of an authoritarian drift embodied by Milei, a possibility today represented by Massa’s triumph.”
The complete document “Electoral commitment: the second round has arrived”
On the eve of the second round in which citizens will elect the next government, we ratify the commitment that we have signed following the PASO and that, as a result of the first round elections, leads us to vote for Sergio Massa once morest Javier Milei. We consider that the diagnosis we made in our previous statement is still valid.
The public conduct of Milei and a good part of his team is contrary to the democratic culture that we promote to strengthen a pluralistic and peaceful political community; Her explicit denial of the human rights pact enables a return of forms of political and state violence that we believed were overcome; and her plebiscitary government proposal anticipates a Caesarist and authoritarian practice that violates the national constitution.
On the other hand, it is not lost on us that Massa’s trajectory, the mistakes of his economic management and the ambiguity of his proposals can generate serious doubts and fears. However, we continue to believe that it is necessary to establish a democratic cordon once morest the dangers of an authoritarian drift embodied by Milei, a possibility today represented by Massa’s triumph.
Although among those of us who signed this declaration there are important disagreements on many issues, we are united by the conviction that there is no common future under a government of Javier Milei. We hope that the majority of citizens share our commitment to the second round, but we do not therefore encourage any triumphalism. In these elections there are no winners; There is a defeated society, mired in a social, economic and political crisis of enormous severity.
Democratic forces must assume responsibility for the failure of many of the promises of the cycle that began 40 years ago, and commit to working together to repair the damage caused. The consecration of a new democratic pact capable of leaving behind decades of failures and frustrations should constitute a minimum program for the next government.
