Argentines are voting this Sunday for the second round of the presidential election which pits Sergio Massa, candidate of the center-left government bloc, once morest the ultraliberal “anti-system” Javier Milei, one of the most undecided elections since the return of the democracy 40 years ago.
Argentines go to the polls on Sunday for a second round of the presidential election which promises to be delicate, with two radically different visions of the country’s future and an electorate which is expressing its anger in the face of triple-digit inflation and a growing poverty.
The election will see the Peronist Minister of the Economy, Sergio Massaat the helm since the country’s worst economic crisis in twenty years, and the radical libertarian outsider Javier Mileyslightly favorite in the polls preceding the election.
Javier Milei promise economical shock therapyranging from closing the central bank to abandoning the peso and cutting spending, potentially painful reforms that resonated with voters angry regarding economic malaise but sparked fears of austerity in others.
With many Argentines unconvinced by either candidate, some called the vote a choice of “the lesser evil”: choosing between fear of a painful economic cure from Javier Milei or anger at Sergio Massa over the crisis economic. Many Argentines say they will not vote at all.
Whoever wins will shake up Argentina’s political landscape, its economic roadmap, its trade in grain, lithium and hydrocarbons, as well as its ties with China, the United States, Brazil, etc.
