Sergio Massa y Javier Miley They will face each other next Sunday, November 12 at the Faculty of Law, at 9 p.m. precisely, to star in a new presidential debate, one week before the election that will define who of the two becomes Alberto Fernández’s successor. The appointment has strict rules, a “Brazilian style” novelty and the expectation of greater dynamism in terms of replicas.
After weeks of discussions, and some disagreements between the campaign teams of each candidate regarding the opportunity to take notes and the use of cameras, each candidate will have an initial minute of presentation and two final minutes to provide their conclusions to the closing of the event, which is stipulated to last one hour and 50 minutes.
The representative of Unión por la Patria will enter first and will be located at the lectern on the right from the viewer’s point of view, while the libertarian will be on the left. The first minute of the presentation will be Massa’s, then his opponent will speak regarding him.
After the opening speech, there will be a 12-minute block in which six thematic axes will be addressed in two blocks of three topics each. Economy (with the opening of the man from LLA), International Relations of Argentina with the world (initiated by the leader of UxP) and Education and Health (Milei will reopen).
It is estimated that the presentation of the candidates will last one hour and 50 minutes.
Meanwhile, the second section will have the three remaining topics: Production and Employment (whose start will be from Tigre), Security (with Milei in first place) and Human Rights and Democratic Coexistence (Massa starts once more). During the presentation of the axes to be discussed, each one will have 6 minutes that they can manage at their discretion.
There is an outstanding novelty: when one candidate finishes speaking, the other can interrupt him and take the floor to reply. Moderators can only appear on stage if one of them speaks for more than two minutes at a time.
Before PERFIL, a member of the debate’s advisory council assessed that this measure will help “greater dynamics, with many more replicas and confrontations and more orderly” between the protagonists, unlike previous exchanges. In fact, Ricardo Gil Lavedra, another member of the council, warned that the requests for the right to reply to the latest quotes led to confusion for the viewer.
To close, in the third and last block of the debate each candidate for the head of state will have two minutes to finish their participation, a final presentation that, according to the draw carried out in the National Electoral Chamber, the entity that organizes the meeting, Massa will begin and Milei will conclude.
Candidates will be able to move but will not be able to have physical contact with each other
As mentioned above, They will not be able to take notes, but they will be able to take notes on blank sheets of paper that will be placed on each lectern along with pens.. On this point, Claudio Martínez, director of Public TV, the signal that will broadcast the event at the university of Buenos Aires, and immersed in the organization, explained yesterday in radio statements that the decision was made before “the “risk” that one of the candidates will take graphics and show them to the camera. A scene that was seen in the first exchange between vice presidents that a news signal organized.
This item was the focus of discussion between the representatives of Massa and Milei, since the minister opposed the use of “aide-memoire” papers while the LLA leader demanded it.
On the other hand, both the UxP man and the LLA man will be able to move around the stage, but under a delimited area, without physical contact, and with a camera at their disposal, which each one already knows in advance which one it is. It will be similar to what was seen in the debate ahead of the Brazilian runoff between Lula da Silva and Jair Bolsonaro, in which each one was able to move freely and even touched each other in a moment of tension.
The candidates’ essay
This Saturday night the presidential candidates will be able to take the final test on the stage of the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires where they will meet one day later.
Sergio Massa and Javier Milei will be able to do sound checks, camera tests, and they will even be able to rehearse movements since this time they will be able to move around the lecterns that they will have prepared.
The candidates, who reach the third debate, know that in the face of such tight numbers, the television presentation can end up defining the election. Javier Milei’s objective is to maintain the moderate profile that he launched following the alliance with Together for Change, while Sergio Massa’s will be to present proposals, but also expose the “real Milei.”
