translated from Spanish: Face-to-face with Cristina: Pichetto insists on the vice president’s debate

The candidate for vice-president of Juntos por la Cambio, Miguel Angel Pichetto, on Wednesday formalized the request to the National Electoral Chamber to enable the public debate of the applicants to that office, including the former president and senator Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, Front of All.
“As a candidate for vice president of the Nation for the Together Alliance for Change, I come to request that I have to enable the pre-election public debate body among the candidates for vice-president of the Various Formulas,” he says text submitted this noon to the agency.

The senator considers “an imperative of every representative and democratic regime and of government to give candidates the opportunity to present their ideas and projects for the future of the country.” Pichetto further warns that “even more imperative is the possibility for citizens to conduct the scrutiny of those who intend to hold in this case the position of vice president and president of the House of Senators of the Nation”. Pichetto’s presentation is in line with the bills submitted by official lawmakers in recent hours to approve the mandatory debates of vice presidential applicants by the Congress of the Nation.One of the initiatives was the national deputy Fernando Iglesias, and the rest by Senator Silvia Elías de Pérez, who questioned in his presentation the fact that Kirchner has not yet expressed himself in public about his proposals for the office to which he aspires. The debates of the presidential candidates were set for October 13 and 20 at the Universidad del Litoral, in the city of Santa Fe, and at the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), respectively.
