President Alberto Fernández voted at 9:30 a.m. at the headquarters of the Argentine Catholic University (UCA) in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Puerto Madero. “It is an important day for democracy that turns 40. I trust that everything will be done in order and in peace, as always when we vote,” said the president.
The president did not issue any more statements due to the electoral ban in the framework of the second round to define who will occupy the Presidency between the candidate of Unión por la Patria (UxP), Sergio Massa, and the candidate of La Libertad Avanza (LLA), Javier Milei.
