Disclaimer & comment rulesFantastic result. Best of all: Anibal Fernandez is out - he may very well end up in jail. Vamos Argentina!
Oct 26th, 2015 - 08:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0now the 2001/2002 bondholders hope to get the right person in the second round.
Oct 26th, 2015 - 09:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0It´s the first time in many years that I have some hope. Maybe, just maybe, Argentina may have a chance not to sink to the very bottom.
Oct 26th, 2015 - 10:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Scioli's numbers hardly moved at all from the primaries. There is a lot of public opposition the the kirchner. It seems Hanibel “Lecter” Fernendez is behind as well.
Oct 26th, 2015 - 10:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina.....I wish all good luck in the run off.
Can't wait to see hoe Reekie spins this one.

“As Cristina Fernandez cast her ballot, the 62-year-old leader said she was proud to be handing over a “normal” country....” yes, now it is Crissy.

Let's hope Macri makes it at the final round.
So much for Scioli poncing around the media announcing his 'government members for when he is president.

Shit and fan of epic proportions could be very close now. :o)
Oi Marcos! After the disaster at Twikers now this! Bahahahaha.. Perhaps this will be the start of a new chapter in Falklands/ Argentina relations?
Oct 26th, 2015 - 01:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Marcos, did you notice the crowd at Twickers, mostly British people from English Rugger Clubs. Urging the Argies on, applauding their spirit, no insults, no burning tyres, no stome throwing, no intimidation of defensless visiting pensioners, even leaving tbat noxious slug Maradona in peace to enjoy the match!
This is how the CIVILISED rugby fans from England behave. Look and learn… !

“...chewing a wasp”. Lol,
I expect that the desperate Kirchner regime will blow what's left of currency reserves on a one month all out attack on Cambiemos/Macri. There will be attempts at voter fraud, massive voter bribes etc. They are desperate now, they really are.

Oct 26th, 2015 - 03:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0... but, given that the kirchnerists will stop at nothing, expect a massively rigged second round.
I am surprised by Vidal's victory in the province of Buenos Aires. I hope she does a good job, the opposition really needs to prove they can govern properly if they want to be an alternative to the Peronists.
Oct 26th, 2015 - 03:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now let's hope Macri wins on the second round. It won't be easy, since a lot of Massa's voters hate Macri and would rather vote for Scioli.

Oct 26th, 2015 - 04:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nothing but a friendly reminder to the Tattaglias
The results of yesterday's election are not flattering for the Victory Front, and candidate Daniel Scioli will need to make adjustments in order to have chances at the Nov. 22 second round.
Oct 26th, 2015 - 04:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He will need to pay heed to the results in Buenos Aires province, where the defeat of Aníbal Fernández has sent a clear message to the party in power.
Third-runner Sergio Massa could attempt to direct the vote of his followers to one of the two candidates going to second round--that's something to be seen in the next few days.
Electors would be wise to ask candidate Mauricio Macri for clarity on his goals in case of winning the presidency; until now he has been all over the place.
There is no doubt a new political reality in Argentina today, but both enthusiastic Macri followers and disappointed Kirchnerists should take last night's results with a grain of salt; the party in power for over a decade remains pretty much an established political force, now facing a new political entity with good prospects.
Above all, Argentina has gone through another election without incident, with high citizen participation--80 per cent!--and the opposition, in face of its good results, seems to have set aside any fraud claims.
Such an election process speaks volumes of the state of democracy in Argentina.
And everybody, of course, can celebrate that.
THE POSSIBLE ELECTORAL VICTORY, AND THE CLEAR CULTURAL DEFEAT.
Oct 26th, 2015 - 04:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have always said that something must have changed deeply in Argentina after these long 12 years of kirchnerism, beyond how arrogant C. F. K. is, it's more than evident that a relative majority in the country agrees on the policies applied since 2003, that's why, since many months, even a conservative like Macri, who represents the most reactionary interests of the economic power, has made campaign making a defence of kirchnerist ideas, despite his party voted against almost all measures taken by the government at the congress, in fact, he has said that he is disposed to keep all the achievements that workers could get, beside, he dared to assure that enterprices like aerolineas argentinas, the pensions sistem and ypf'll continue under statal management, which was hardly criticised by some of his followers.
All these objetive facts show clearly that in the social context of the actual argentina, there is not so much acceptance for his neoliberalism.
Although i don't believe a word of what he says, it's pretty obvious that many people do, that's why they put him on the second place, beside, i have never discarded a possible electoral victory for his party, but what is undeniable, is the fact that his ideology is suffering a hard cultural defeat, that's the reason why, reality forces him to defend the progressive policies applied by kirchnerism.
On the other hand, we don't have to forget that in case he wins the election on october 22nd, he will be the weakest president of the last 32 years of democracy, because he won't have a majority in both chambers, beside most provinces are being ruled by parties from the oppostition, which is another fact that shows how extremely difficult will be for him, if he tries to return to the neoliberalism that he loves.

Listen: Argentina has never had any rule based on liberalism, and perhaps even less so under Menem, although your brain is washed in order to make you believe so.
The last 70 years, however, POPULISM of varying flavors have ruled Argentina. It's all been a big lie.
If Macri wins, I expect the Peronista-mafia to behave at its worst: Pure destructivism. Soon, 'Gorila' will become be a term of honor.

Think is more than happy with yesterdays presidential election...
A highly participatory, multi party, peaceful and clean one!!!
Think is also happy with its results...
Firstly because it was a nice “Memento Mori” to some that, after 12 years in power, were becoming “too established”...
Secondly because the coming Ballotage will give all of us a very clear picture of which “Country Project” the majority of us Argentineans want...
Last but not least because..., unless something very strange happens..., Mr. Scioli and his/our/my “Country Project” will prevail...
Why do I “Think” so...???
..................................................... Let's have a look at yesterdays numbers...:
On the right corner...:
Sr. Macri (Conservative/Rightwinger) with ~8,300,000 votes...
On the left corner...:
Sr. Scioli (Peronist/Populist) with ~9,000,000 votes...
Sr. Massa (Peronist/Populist) with ~5,200,000 votes...
Sr. Del Caño (Socialist/Leftwinger) with ~800,000 votes...
Sra. Stolbizer Progresist/Lukewarm Leftwinger) with ~600,000 votes...
And finally..., Sr. Rodríguez Saa (Peronist/Populist) with ~400,000 votes...

Think's analysis is right up there with the polls projectiing Scioli with a “Massive Margin” as well as Hanibel “Lecter” Fernandez. He soundly lost the Province of Argentina to MArci's group. The Fvp lost the lower house. 64% voted against Scioli and Kirchner. But why argue as it's pissing in the wind. November 22 will tell the full story.

A white knight for the poor (he has promised to work for “zero poverty”) while being also a staunch defender of corporations and estancieros (he has promised to eliminate tax on exports) willing to lower wages to lower production costs.
He has promised to be a free-enterprise champion while ensuring that AA and YPF remain under the state, and also to keep the Universal Child Allocation (even if he voted against in the Legislature).

Oct 27th, 2015 - 02:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0Like everyone has been stating, it all comes down to what Massa's supporters want. A lot of things can happen between now and 22/11. Personally I'm happy that the smart, decent Argentines ( I trust they know who they are ) who sometimes post here are happy with this result.
For myself I'm glad that there are limits on what bully's like Anibal Fernandez can now do and that the chances of a sensible approach to the Falkland Islands can now, possibly be developed. If Argentina is ever going to be honest with itself about why it wants them, it will have to be a process and the best hope of beginning that process will start with Macri's election.

Oct 27th, 2015 - 03:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0The debate is fierce in Argentina. Scioli's supporters are in shock, especially as he acted like he had won and then had to back-track furiously. His advisors told him to distance himself from CFK - she is poisonous to him now.
Marci has run an efficient campaign - very U.S. is style - lots of razzmatazz.
Really the debate will pin both down to some real issues and is where this will be decided. What is very apparent is that the Argentine people see change as the key.

Wonder where all the claims of fraud (fraud was a true fact for some posters here too) were gone in light of the opposition's better-than-expected results.
Not that long ago, that same opposition argued cried fool and tried to quash an election in Tucumán when voters supported the officialism.
Looking from the outside, for me the true democrats are the Kirchnerists. Macri et al, instead, are ready to use any tactics to grab the power.

Oct 27th, 2015 - 05:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0No one has won yet. We don't know if there has been, or will be, vote buying and fraud. All we know is there was no clear result and there will be a run off.
We do know that Scioli went from making a premature victory speech to very quiet. Awkward.
The debate should be a good opportunity to get some clarity on the candidates' policies.

@50
Oct 27th, 2015 - 11:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Wrong. We do know there has been vote buying and fraud. There hasn't been an election in Argentina without fraud, ever. However, the anti-K sentiment in the country is so strong that the standard level of fraud - typically estimated at 5% - isn't enough for the K-scum to stay in power.
@52 Fair enough.

You could be correct. She has said nothing and Apparently she has left on a plane somewhere allegedly on her way to attend some sort of commemoration of her husband's death tomorrow. Or something like that.
Macri has commented on her lack of communication...
Could she have realised that the game is up and she's preparing for her departure? We shall see...

Wide-eyed Jonaz believes there has been fraud--that, for him, makes it real.

Jonaz: There is not a single report on fraud occurrence in the last election. Claims such as those made in Tucumán were never proven.

Oct 27th, 2015 - 06:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Do you know what “punteros” are? Every person in Argentina with more than half a brain know that voter fraud/bribing happen at large scale. The Peronist party has always had a tremendous apparatus in the Conurbano in order to control the masses. That's why Massa went from front-runner to 20% - because he got the intendente/punteros estalishment against him. Internet is full of proofs of voting fraud in Argentina during the K-regime. You'll find it, if you know how to use Google.
Oh, btw, I happen to know people who have worked as punteros. They have told me how this works. It is well known that if you control the Conurbano, you control Argentina. Just ask Zannini, that happen to be his speciality.
I advise you to check the results in Formosa and Misiones, where poverty-stricken municipios had Scioli in the 85-90% range. These are provinces where children die of malnutrition on a daily basis. Why the hell would these people vote for the incumbent party?

No matter how hard they try, Macri will win this one way or another.
Another day and there hasn't been any ''cadena nacional''. Looks like they are still in shock and trying to come out with an excuse.
Meanwhile cyber Ks militants are desperately promoting widespread fear throughout different social medias telling people that if they vote for Macri, we will go back to the 90s (despite being governed by a peronist back then who privatized everything). All in an attempt to scare and generate fear.
They are running out of options and they are playing the fear card. I can sense that desperation from miles away.
Your time is coming to an end.

I notice “K” opponents prodigally use insults, especially misogynist ones targeted at CFK.
They also, such as Elaine in the quote above, take speculation and use it as fact to back their contempt for anything “K.” This, in spite the fact the Kirchners' have governed for a decade without using force to suppress peaceful demonstrations--as it was the norm before them. In this case Elaine disingenuously tries once more to use the Nisman case, in a display of either total ignorance or bad faith. Cptn Poppy picks up the line and tries to make some more hay out of it at #76.

Let's start with Blair's own words a few days ago:
“I apologise for the fact that the intelligence we received was wrong.
“I also apologise for some of the mistakes in planning and, certainly, our mistake in our understanding of what would happen once you removed the regime.”

As me good mate Borgo always says...
Here comes the Sun...!

Brainwashing? The gorgeous Corruptina Fernandez de Kirchner has been entertaining Latin America by spending millions and millions to brainwash the Argentine people into thinking they have a claim to the Falklands. Schoolchildren are compelled to sing a song in class about this great “cause”, buses are legally obliged to be painted with maps of the Falklands, bank notes feature the map, too, and the Kirchner regime has been doing its utmost to strangle the Falklands economy. But she has failed. The Falkland islanders are prosperous and thriving while Argentines know Ol' Gargoyle Face's brainwashing campaign is a political stunt to hide the reality of her failed government. Meanwhile, of course, she and her cronies have stolen the country's reserves. But the truth is destined to come out when Antonio Jaime Stiuso uploads all those memory sticks he has kept. Just wait and see, compadres.

Oct 30th, 2015 - 12:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Some expert opinions on poor, bankrupt, corrupt, Third World Argentina to keep you thinking.
The Washington Post: “The economy is stagnant, the fiscal deficit unsustainable and growing, foreign and domestic investment pathetic, inflation running at 30 percent, drug-related violence rising and the country remains an outcast in the international financial community.”
USA Today: “The reality is that Argentina is a completely irresponsible government,” says John Baker, professor emeritus at Louisiana State University Law Centre. “They have taken a very rich country and destroyed it financially. … Without the discipline of having to be responsible to somebody, there's never any hope of change down there.”
Arturo Porzecanski, the distinguished economist, says the Kirchner regime gave up trying to solve Argentina’s problems, it decided to leave them to the next administration. The host of problems Porzecanski lists include energy, trade, exports and imports, government spending, the tax system, huge deficiencies in the national bank, problems with price controls, import controls, exchange controls, the list goes on and on. Porzecanski calls Argentina a lawless rogue debtor.
No one could put it better. A lawless rogue debtor. We send our pity and sympathy to you.
I'm afraid I don't think Argentina's Malvinas Myth is going to be left aside, whoever wins the elections. But at least the new voices won't be as strident and irritating, at least until it becomes necessary to distract public attention. In fact, things may become worse if the new gov't. decides to build up the currently useless Argentine armed forces. Islanders, be forever vigilant and never trust an Arg
