Nestor y Cristina de Kirchner. Demotix. All rights reserved.
Argentina is living through the last days of an unusual presidential campaign, hitherto characterized by the absence of ideas and strong proposals, by sudden shifts in the three candidates’ economic platforms, and by a certain indifference of civil society regarding the electoral debate.
This scenario seems incomprehensible given the extreme polarization that has characterized politics in Argentina recently, its highest point being the death of controversial prosecutor Alberto Nisman and the attempt by the radical right opposition, backed by the Clarín media group, to hold president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner responsible for it.
