According to a survey by DC Consultores, if legislative elections were held today in Argentina, the ruling party La Libertad Avanza would obtain 54.2% of the votes, which would translate into a significant increase in seats in Congress. This would allow them to have a parliamentary majority sufficient to approve the reforms proposed by Javier Milei, the leader of the party, such as an economic adjustment model. This situation would mark a possible end to Kirchnerism in Argentine politics, which has been dominant for more than a decade.
According to the survey results, La Libertad Avanza would emerge as the main political force, displacing other traditional parties. On the other hand, non-Kirchnerist Peronism would consolidate as the second most voted force, with 25.3% of the votes. Additionally, the study reveals that the majority of respondents believe that the model proposed by Milei forecasts a better future for the country, although there is a significant percentage that disagrees.
One of the most notable aspects of the survey is the majority support for mandatory work policies in prison, which reinforces the trend towards a hardening of prison conditions. On the other hand, the majority of respondents prefer a model of private prisons, as opposed to the current public system.
Should the survey projections be fulfilled, La Libertad Avanza would have a clear majority both in the Chamber of Deputies and in the Senate, which would facilitate the approval of laws with minimal resistance. This would imply a significant change in the government's ability to advance its legislative agenda.
