After five months of elections, Argentina has reached the final week of the campaign. Argentines will vote in a second round on November 19 to decide who will be the next president: the Peronist Sergio Massa or the far-right Javier Milei. Both candidates will meet this Sunday in a face-to-face debate where they will discuss the economy, international relations, security, education, health, labor and safety.
It will be the candidates’ last meeting after a long campaign. Argentines voted in open primaries in August, in a first round in October, and they will do so for the last time this Sunday. The picture is between two candidates who each received practically a third of the votes and now have to convince the rest of the voters. On the one hand, Milei, the anarcho-capitalist and conservative economist who displaced the traditional right and captured millions of voters disillusioned with politics. On the other side is Massa, the economy minister in a Peronist government with annual inflation of 140%, hoping to convince voters that his government will be different from the current one.
