translated from Spanish: Fernández had lunch with Santoro at Boedo’s restaurant

President Alberto Fernández had lunch with the pre-candidate for national deputy Leandro Santoro in a restaurant in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Boedo, where he said he was “very happy and happy” on an election day that “consolidates democracy.” It is a day of happiness, we are very happy with this day when Argentines go to the polls. Democracy must be preserved more than anything and my obligation as President is to guarantee” that citizens “express themselves freely,” Fernandez told the C5N news network. The owner of the restaurant, an 80-year-old man, stressed that with the current government “I work twice as much as I worked with (Mauricio) Macri. If this man didn’t go up (for Alberto Fernandez) I wasn’t here.”

Under the sanitary measures established by the sanitary protocol for the coronavirus pandemic, the President voted early accompanied by the first lady Fabiola Yáñez and, when signing the electoral roll, used his own pen, as stipulated. After voting, he said at a press conference: “I hope that we have a quiet day where we all go to vote and then wait for the results at night.”

“We continue forward, Argentina continues tomorrow,” added the president, who considered that the elections “are taking place with great tranquility, it is what I most want is that we vote in peace, in order and with tranquility.” For his part, the candidate of the Frente de Todos por la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Leandro Santoro, thanked Fernández for having accompanied him this afternoon.
