Argentina is heading to the polls on sunday in an election that could unseat conservative president reads your mockery left wing rival Alberto Fernandez is widely tipped to secure victory also on the brink of returning to office his Vice President is former president Cristina Kirchner rockers popularity has fallen sharply over the last year while argentina grapples with the recession the poverty rate has risen to more than 35 percent while the peso was plunged 70 percent since january of last year are supposed to slide from minnesota so its clear to me so with numbers like that that is obviously whats going to be on the mind of voters. Well most definitely and everything is ready here in argentina for sundays elections we know that already some of the ballots are reaching the schools on the Voting Center where over 30000000 arjun tons will be heading to the polls to decide this countrys future and this has been a highly polarized election mostly because of the tension that exists between both Political Parties those. Marketing precedent and the Peronist Party whose leader ill bet at the bottom on this whos running mate is former president Cristina Kirchner a woman that is loved and hate. In the argentina market has been touring the country this past month has been to 2 over 30 towns rallying people to vote for him promising that the future is going to improve because of the economic crisis that Sergeant Tina is seeing lately with inflation we station a rise in poverty among other things that on the other hand is about a 5 man days who alongside former president kirchner has managed to unite the powerful Peronist Party in past elections that peyronies party was divided well that party is now united and thats why according to not only latest polls but also because of the primary election that happened in october he has a very big chance of being elected this sunday of course we will have to see what any surprises will be a major change for argentina. 17 years ago the workers of the Printing Press to cover this building when the owners filed for bankruptcy and to peel them any type of compensation.

Resistance but its not easy. Inflation recession and the risk of default are affecting all sectors of the economy these days and this place is no exception officer sources say that around 40 Small Companies down every day mostly because they cannot cope with a rise in the price of Utility Services and because of a drop in sales the problem that this place is facing for example you find increasing the price of some of the products they use like paper this is what is causing the library of putting down. History seems to repeat itself in argentina over and over again. Since the 1940 s. I ching tina has had at least 16 crisis 15 of them happen because the country run out of dollars you know we have a currency problem people dont save pensions and dying patients and we have an export problem well have enough dollars so every now and then governments doing flayed the economy by borrowing their way to growth and at some point in that since it is the all of the nominated that starts. Taking around and greater start asking for money and. Who a crisis. Of it one of the reason is that the says this is one of the reasons why its been so difficult for marketing to get the economy going and why he ended requesting a loan from the i. M. F. But patients were exaggerated and i think people some people in the government believe that the whole problem i think there was populism. And illiquid. So they believe that changing the cash will solve the problems facing the browser more structure. But until now no government has found the solution to the problem lack of consensus and predictability have led argentina. To the crisis of struggling with today. In the middle are the millions who are filled with uncertainty about what will happen next. And as you see the economy plays a crucial role in the in this election and mostly because there are so many that are telling us on the streets that they voted for marketing back in 2015 but that they wont do it again mostly because of the Economic Situation because they cannot afford food because of him play should because they cannot make ends meet or they cannot make it until the end of the month so its a very polarized election the opposition has been using the Economic Situation in the country the government has been accusing the Peronist Party of corruption allegedly committed in past governments for which there are several triers taking place right now and its the economy right now also thats a lot of tension in argentina last friday devaluation of the currency once again people lining up outside Exchange Houses in order to change their passwords for u.
