The race could set the future trajectory of South America’s No 2 economy.
BUENOS AIRES: Argentina’s Peronist economy chief Sergio Massa faces a fierce battle for middle-ground votes with far-right libertarian Javier Milei ahead of a run-off next month, though the centre-left runner has his nose in front after a surprise first round win.
The race could set the future trajectory of Argentina, South America’s No 2 economy, with a polarised battle between Milei’s “chainsaw” shock therapy for the economy and Massa’s more steady plan, which has though so far failed to solve the crisis. Schiaretti and Bregman, both left-leaning, in theory should shed most of their combined 2.5 million votes to Massa in the Nov 19 head-to-head.
“I understand that Schiaretti’s vote is mostly Peronist. More votes may even come from Bullrich,” he added. However, if Milei can win over a large chunk of Bullrich’s right-leaning voters, there could be a tight race, especially if the economic situation gets worse.“We can’t save in our local currency, because it’s losing value every day, nor can you buy foreign currency, which more or less remains a little more stable,” said student Ramiro Vitale.
