This Sunday, the midterm elections in Argentina closed, and the official data will be known by 9 p.m. local time; a tug-of-war is projected between La Libertad Avanza (LLA, by its acronym in Spanish) and Peronismo (the opposition); until 6 p.m., 66% of the electoral roll voted.

“Tranquility” and “we are doing well” were the most repeated words in the still half-empty LLA bunker, almost at the close of the voting hour. “Tomorrow Argentina will be the same,” said the presidential spokesman.In a sign of the official strategy: to transmit calm and remove drama from the day after the elections, in which the future of Javier Milei’s government will be largely defined.What is Being Voted on This Sunday
