Last day of the campaign: Sergio Massa closes in the City of Buenos Aires and Javier Milei travels to Córdoba

There are only a few hours left until next Sunday’s decisive election that will define who will be the president of Argentina for the next four years. In the last stop of this long journey to the Casa Rosada, presidential candidates Sergio Massa, of Union for the Fatherland, and Javier Milei, of La Libertad Avanza, will close their campaigns today. Massa speaks to businessmen and meets with students, although they do not rule out a closure without political leadersThe minister and candidate of the ruling party will go through the last hours of his campaign among businessmen and students but far from political leaders. Starting at 12:30 p.m., Massa will speak before businessmen from the Inter-American Council of Trade and Production (CICyP) at the Alvear Palace Hotel, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta, in a forum that yesterday had the participation of the candidate of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) Javier Milei, his opponent for the second round. In this meeting, convened under the slogan “Argentine Definition”, the minister will present the axes of his economic plan if he comes to power. In the afternoon, Massa plans to meet with students from the “Carlos Pellegrini” Higher School of Commerce, in continuity with the meeting he had held, before the October 22 elections, with students from the National College of Buenos Aires. In the campaign offices of UxP they did not rule out a last campaign act similar to the one that preceded the general elections last October, without militancy or political leaders, in some factory in the Buenos Aires suburbs. Massa promised to “bring inflation down to less than half” by 2024The last few weeks found Massa touring the center of the country, as well as Buenos Aires, where he added support from non-party members for the runoff and won support for his proposal for a government of “national unity.” Milei travels to a key provinceJavier Milei closes his electoral campaign this afternoon in a district historically adverse to Kirchnerism and that in 2015 proved decisive. In the second round of that year’s elections, between Mauricio Macri and Daniel Scioli, the presidential candidate of the alliance then called Cambiemos won more than 70% of the votes. For this reason, it is often said that Cordoba, the second most populous province in the country, made the former president president. Now, territory is key again. The fact is that Juan Schiaretti, a former presidential candidate whose votes are disputed by Massa and the libertarian, governs there. In the general elections, Milei received the most votes with 33% of the votes. The provincial governor was close behind, with 29%. In fourth place, behind Patricia Bullrich, was Massa, with only 13% of the supporters. The votes of the former presidential candidate of We Do for Our Country may hold the key to the presidency. The economist aims to capitalize on the support that Macri and Bullrich gave to his candidacy. According to data provided by local LLA leaders to the Telam news agency, the libertarian candidate will arrive around 4 p.m. at the Ambrosio Taravella International Airport and will stay at a hotel in the downtown area. Prior to the event, scheduled for 7 p.m. on 300 Hipólito Yrigoyen Avenue, where the Paseo del Buen Pastor is located, Milei will meet with his campaign team. The stage from which the LLA candidate will speak will be mounted on a truck. It is not yet clear if there will be a caravan in the vicinity of that area of the Nueva Córdoba neighborhood, a local LLA source reported. Milei participated yesterday in a speech at a meeting of the Inter-American Trade of Trade and Production (CICYP), which was held at the Hotel Alvear in Buenos Aires, and in the afternoon he took his campaign to the Buenos Aires district of Ezeiza.
