Javier Milei closed his campaign for president of Argentina. He carried out the last act in the province of Córdoba, where, emulating Mauricio Macri's strategy in 2015, he hopes to make a difference that will allow him to reach the Casa Rosada. In parallel, he published his latest campaign spot, in which he once again targeted what he defines as "political caste" and stressed to Argentines that the change or continuity of Peronism is in their hands. The second round of elections will take place on Sunday, November 19.
According to the latest polls, the libertarian is neck-and-neck with Sergio Massa, the current Minister of Economy and his rival at the polls. However, he would have a very slight advantage. To avoid letting him escape, he launched his latest campaign ad, in which he looks at the camera, unmasks the accusations against him, and points out the "campaign of fear" that was carried out against him.
During the electoral process, his rivals sought to scare the population about Milei, ensuring that it was a "jump into the void" for the country since it would end education and public health subsidies and that the organ market would be legalized.

In this last advertising effort, the figure of Milei staring at the camera is interspersed with that of his campaign events, and then he proceeds to give a final message to the voters.
"Argentines during all these months, the political class spread an enormous amount of lies about us with the sole purpose of scaring you to protect their privileges. Because if you are afraid, you become paralyzed. And if you're paralyzed, nothing changes. The only thing we propose is to embrace the ideas that made this country great," he began.
"We are not going to privatize health, we are not going to privatize education, we are not going to reform Incucai, we are not going to privatize soccer, we are not going to allow the unrestricted carrying of weapons," he continued.
Immediately afterward, he specified his intention to "end inflation forever" and "end insecurity forever," given that "this is our commitment to democracy and to all good Argentines."
Finally, he asked Argentines to "not let themselves be scared" so that "hope conquers fear." "This next Sunday, change is in your hands," Milei concluded.
Argentina left behind a process of military dictatorship in 1983, and, in its 40 years of uninterrupted democracy, Peronism governed for 29, while other parties did so for a total of 11.
