| Sad tango. Argentina on the verge of default |
| 2023-08-22 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Ol'ga Kuznetsova [REGNUM] On August 13, primary elections were held in Argentina, the main purpose of which is to approve the final list of candidates for president, provincial governors and parliament. General elections are expected in October 2023. To participate in the voting, each candidate must receive at least 1.5% of the vote, and the results of the primaries help determine the strongest participants from each party, in order to roughly imagine the balance of power on the eve of a large-scale election campaign. Talk about the default in particular and about the economic situation of the state in general became the main thing for presidential candidates, forcing populists and oppositionists of all stripes to enter the arena, as well as resuming the discussion about the possible (non) entry of Argentina into the BRICS bloc (Argentina filed an application last year). |

| #5 Global Marxism is ascending. See what they did in the US and Brazil. Javier's win was an oversight, they wont let him win the presidency. |

| #3 ^^^ " If communism loses its grip in Latin America"..."possible that Argentina may have a pro-business, pro-Capitalist government for the first time in decades." It's moving North, to far better looting opportunities and a friendly Marxist political party. |

| #1 The possibility of real change is real. In the Primaries held on 13 August conservative candidate Javier Milei of the La Libertad Avanza party was the unexpected winner, with 30% of the votes. A look at the map proves that Milei won the popular vote in provinces from the Patagonia south to the Chaco north. If he can hold his own in Buenos Aires where the left radicals are strong, it is possible that Argentina may have a pro-business, pro-Capitalist government for the first time in decades. |
