Political analyst Sergio Berensztein analyzed the key points of the election results and stated that a significant portion of Argentine society opted for 'the continuity of change,' recognizing the government's economic advances despite the challenging context.
According to Berensztein, the ruling party solidified itself as the largest minority group, surpassing 40% of the vote and holding a clear lead over the opposition. 'If this were a presidential election, he would have been re-elected,' he stated, noting that the result grants the government renewed political legitimacy to advance its agenda.
Berensztein also emphasized that society rewarded the government for lowering inflation from 300% to 30%.
Regarding the implementation of the Single Paper Ballot, the analyst called this change 'fundamental,' noting that it has modified historical power structures. 'Whoever represents these new regional interests will be part of the discussion about the future,' he concluded.
On the opposition, Berensztein was critical of the Peronist strategy, calling their campaign 'even worse than La Libertad Avanza,' practically hiding their candidate. He pointed out that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner does not take responsibility, and the space is trapped in a deep internal dispute, with Kicillof emerging as a defiant figure.
In conclusion, the expert stated that Peronism has fallen into 'entropy' and an 'internal fight that no one knows how to resolve.'
