The initiative will take place in the capital at 4:00 p.m. local time. Representatives of a number of social groups will participate under the motto “For democracy, we do not vote right-wing.”
The entities will highlight the importance of preventing that new forms of “neo-fascisms reach the presidency, representing the same ideas of hatred and death that led to the most terrible genocides”.
Forty years after the end of the last civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983), the general elections (October 22nd) may be a turning point in Argentine history, which means a return to the worst times, according to a document published by the organizers, who expressed their concern about the victory of the leader of La Libertad Avanza, Javier Milei, in the primary elections on August 13th. They also reminded that “the values and democratic consensus of 1983 are at stake.”
“Milei’s aggressive speech denying the genocide perpetrated by the dictatorship, the lack of interest in the effects of the climate crisis and global warming, as well as his manifest hatred to women and his proposals to privatize health, education and science, among others, pose a risk to society and the nation,” the statement indicates.
Moreover, the candidate of Juntos por el Cambio (“Together for Change”), Patricia Bullrich, represents a force that between 2015 and 2019 wrecked the economy, fragmented society and compromised Argentina’s resources for a century through brutal indebtedness with the International Monetary Fund.
