“For me it is a very important day because it is a day where Argentines decide the future of the country,” Alberto Fernández said after casting his vote at table number 68 at the Catholic University in Puerto Madero.
“I think of the country and many Argentinians because of the circumstances that we have to live.”
“The Peronists are all united,” he said, saying that after this primary election he will call “all Argentines to join once and for all.” The presidential candidate said he was calm and will continue his day at a lunch at his home with friends. He went on to vote accompanied by his partner, Fabiola Yáñez, and was previously shown in the neighborhood walking Dylan, his collie dog.
“I can’t talk too much because we’re on the electoral trail,” he told reporters, whom he said he is confident that “people are going to join us.” He also recounted that he spoke with his running mate, former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who told him that “it is snowing in Rio Gallegos”. The senator will not be present in the front of all bunker, in the Chacarita neighborhood, as she did not get a flight back to Federal Capital. Fernández will receive the results alongwith the pre-candidate for Governor, Axel Kicillof, and the pre-candidate for The Head of Government, Matías Lammens, as well as other aspiring legislative positions. Fernandez insisted with his concern over the provisional scrutiny: “I rule out that electoral justice did everything possible to ensure transparency,” he said, adding that political force set up its own computer center with its prosecutors.
