Argentine first time 'young voters' remain distant from Sunday's mid-term election
Argentines aged 16 and 17 will be able to vote for the first time in Sunday's midterm elections but the incidence of their ballot in the final result is considered marginal since many of them did not register. In Argentina voting is mandatory for the 18 to 70 age group, and 600.000 teen agers of 16 and 17 have registered to vote on 27 October when half the Lower House and a third of the Senate seats are renewed.

Oct 25th, 2013 - 10:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0I would say 90% of those 16 year old that actually bothered to register are voting the Ks
Oct 25th, 2013 - 12:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@2 I agree and also think that is a pretty high proportion that registered to vote considering the age group.
Oct 25th, 2013 - 12:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don’t necessarily see a large amount of 16/18 years old taking in interest in politics as a bad thing, even I did when I was that age but I was always independent and open to other ideas and never thought of it as joining a “club”…. What I don’t like is La Campora brainwashing them, taking them to these summer camps where they indoctrinate them and prepare them to organize a mobilize for the government

Things like these just make you think about how long term they were thinking, even some months ago
I totally agree with you. La Campora is a brainwashing institution aimed at an age where ideas are still forming and most young people are directionless and looking for a 'cause' albeit manufactured.
Oct 25th, 2013 - 01:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Most 16 to18 year olds are obsessed with things other than politics but are happy to join a club if they think it is slightly rebellious. Children want to belong and be accepted. That is why manipulation of this age group is so very wrong.
@4 - “taking them to these summer camps where they indoctrinate them and prepare them to organize a mobilize for the government”
Oct 25th, 2013 - 01:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hitler-Jugend springs to mind.
The La Campora youth are usually morally corrupted to begin with because their parents are horrible human beings. Anyone with any semblance of moral fortitude doesn't fall for their stupid propaganda.
Oct 25th, 2013 - 02:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think that the organization provides us with a way to group all the terrible people together and identify them with more certainty.
However, I do worry about children below the age of 11 being indoctrinated. That's just wrong.

Politically interested young people gathering in all openess (as your “La Nación” link clearly shows) on an Island near Buenos Aires to peacefully exercise their democratic right of discussing and learning politics......
Were did I recently read about an Island near a capital city where politically interested young people gather in all openess to peacefully exercise their democratic right of discussing and learning about politics?
Ohhhhh yes, I remember now....................... in Norway:

Just wondering, what color hat and scarves to The LaCampora youths wear while they are marching or destroying some opposition property?

Oct 25th, 2013 - 06:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hilarious ¡! You remind me of some friend I knew once when we were kids, he used to shift is support for the team who was the last champion and was playing best. Never in could stand the downhill trial.
However since you are in Chubut and I never heard the socialist made much noise there I presume it would be the drug lord Yahuar then??
If you dont want to admit you were wrong, Its always better to stay loyal than to be a pankake flipping upside down

Being a Millonario from birth, I can't possibly relate to your friend's shifting alliegances............. He must have been a Bostero.
Being a Millonario from birth, I can appreciate when other teams play good fulbo.

LOL He was a Bostero a couple of times !! But he was River in 1996-1997 for sure.

Why dont you admit you are wrong Think in believing her lies and fantasies? Its not the end of the world you know, you are not going to be burned on the stake the day of reckoning comes, you don’t have to die with her. Anybody can make mystakes. It’s better than being Kirchnerite from 2003-2013/2015 and later saying “Ohh I was always with Binner”.
Oct 25th, 2013 - 07:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I’m voting for Baldassi, but I would rather vote for Aguad, but as Aguad is already on board for sure on sunday, I will use my vote to support Baldassi PRO (who let’s face it, the poor ex referre doesn’t get a clue of anything) than to let this hypocrite Scotto in to sell out the Province pulling its pants down and decline our long pending case of the money that the central government owes us.

Bread is skyrocketing.....but then so is everything. Talking to family in Argentina.....they were bitching that tomato's is well over 70 pesos per kilo.

20 pesos is about $4 ! Thats a lot when you live on $7 a day.. It will be porridge oats next Think. The Peronists will be getting slaughtered, they have driven RGland even further into the dust. And if Toby the tit is a typical product of your education system what hope have you got for the future?

One...... the count is going on. Yoo MIGHT....I say might keep a majority but you Kirchnerite's will never pass things through like changing the constitution to keep the Grand Cunt Christina in office. AND....you still might lose the majority. Kirchnerism died today and with any hope....so does TMBOA.
