Polls predict a close final race between Javier Milei’s ruling party and the Peronists grouped in Fuerza Patria. Milei will seek to avoid his second consecutive defeat amid his sharp decline in popularity.

Pese a que el mandatario asumió en primera línea la campaña electoral y vaticinó una victoria de su partido (“Buenos Aires se pintará de morado”, afirmaba Milei), las cifras han sido contundentes. Se estima que hubo una participación de casi el 61%.

Despite the president taking a front-line role in the election campaign and predicting victory for his party (“Buenos Aires will be painted purple,” Milei claimed), the figures speak for themselves. Voter turnout is estimated at almost 61%.

Fernández’s defense denounces “political persecution” while thousands of Argentines take to the streets to support the former president.

The arrest of Grabois and the closing down of the Institute showcase the ongoing campaign of Milei’s government to undermine public sector institutions, erase the country’s historical memory, and suppress the political opposition.

After the tragic death of a young girl in a robbery, Milei took the opportunity to ask for the resignation of the Governor of Buenos Aires and key opposition figure, Axel Kicillof.
