Cristina Kirchner, outgoing president, confirms the expectations e wins the elections in Argentina with 54%: this is the unofficial percentage released by the media when the polls close.
A result announced by the primaries of last August 14, which even sees an increase in preferences for Kirchner's party, Frente para la Victoria, by almost 5 points compared to August, where the percentage stood at around 50,7%.
But the surprises are not lacking, because the Frente Amplio Progresista by Hermes Binner, fifth in the primaries, is second, with 16% of the preferences. Binner, is the representative of the Progressive Socialists, the supporter of the proposals put forward by the left parties.
The big losers are the right-wing Peronists and the centre-right Radicalists, the latter would collect just 9%, or even fewer points than the primaries.
“Eight years is already a dictatorship”, shout those on the right, but the response of 70% of the 28,8 million Argentines called to vote this time it was clear and left no shadow of a doubt, as if to sanction, at least for the moment, a decisive break with the policies of the past.
