Argentina: Patricia Bullrich will support Javier Milei in the run-off election
The election will be held on November 19.
Argentina’s opposition candidate from the party Together for Change, Patricia Bullrich, who came in third place in the presidential election with 23.83% of the votes, confirmed this Wednesday that she will support Javier Milei in the run-off election against Sergio Massa. The elections will be held on November 19th.
"We ratify our staunch defense of the values of change and freedom. The urgency of the moment challenges us not to be neutral in the face of the danger of the continuity of Kirchnerism that Sergio Massa means," Bullrich wrote on her X account (formerly Twitter).
She claimed that she made this decision to defend the country from the socialists. "When the country is in danger, everything is allowed except not defending it. Urgency challenges us not to be neutral. We ratify the values of change and freedom,” said Bullrich at the end of a meeting with Milei.
The Together for Change candidate stated that Argentina needs a fundamental change in order to move forward, a fundamental change is needed. "For Argentina to move forward, it needs a fundamental change that ensures capitalism, and that the monetary issue ends to end inflation," said Bullrich.
She explained that despite her differences with Milei, it is necessary to unite to defeat the Kirchner candidate, Sergio Massa. "With Milei we have differences, that is why we have competed. We have not hidden them. The majority of Argentines chose a change. We represent a part of that change. We cannot be neutral. We are faced with the dilemma of change or the mafia," she said.
