translated from Spanish: No “machetes”: the curious detail for candidates in the debate

The two presidential debates will be held on 13 and 20 October for the elections on Sunday 27 and the electoral commission settled the draw for the order of the candidates, as well as detailing how long each explanation will last and the topics that will be denstuated . Two points had been open at the previous week’s meeting with representatives from each of the six nominated parties, and they have to do with the possibility of taking notes and the chance that candidates have a chance to answer a question direct from another.

The first was denied despite Juntos por el Cambio’s request and the National Electoral Chamber banned the possibility of taking notes or “machetes” to the stand. However, they can show up in the auditorium with blank sheets and a pen to take notes of the sayings of their rivals. The other option posed by the Left Front (FIT) has to do with the chance to ask and receive direct answers from applicants, but the camera ruled that none will have the obligation to do so, but if you choose to do so it will not affect your set time debate.

“There are six candidates, not two. If there were two or three, direct exchange would be easier,” said Carlos March, debate spokesman. In 2015, when there was no law and no Electoral Chamber intervened in his organization, direct answers were mandatory. Finally, he stated that the moderators will be four people, two men and two women, and that they will be announced in the course of the first days of October. It should be remembered that the first of the debates will be at the Universidad del Litoral, in Santa Fe and the rest in the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires.In this note:
