Argentina General Discussion 🇦🇷

[H. Ross Peron]

Can anyone explain Lavagna's ideology and support base? He seems to have been supported by a coalition of both more moderate Peronists as well as the Socialist Party and served in Nestor Kirchner's cabinet suggesting he isn't exactly a neoliberal in economics despite his technocratic inclinations. From what I can tell, he seems like the best choice in the Presidential elections last year.

Where exactly do the Trotskyists do well?

In relative terms they do best among Fernandez voters, Southerners (specifically Patagonians and people from Buenos Aires province) and Gen-Zs, albeit to a far lesser degree than the libertarians.

If you want to see for yourself just check the link and scroll to the very bottom. It's a little long and it's in Spanish but it's intuitive enough to understand.

Their base is younger middle class porteños (people from Buenos Aires City), they also do quite well in Mendoza
Also, most FIT voters prefer FpV to JxC, but not by that much, and the parties themselves (especially MST) hate Cristina Kirchner

I have never seen them do particularly well in Buenos Aires Province, either on the Conurbano or el Interior

Is Buenos Aires province mostly working-class (at least in the metro area) given the province generally votes for FpV even when the city has generally voted for the UCR/JxC.

Carlos Menem has died at 90 after a long series of health problems.

A sad day, despite all the issues he had during and after his Presidency. Nevertheless, this also shows that the prophecy is coming true.

Which prophecy?

Sorry if this post is ignorant, but aren't Peronists generally somewhat more tolerant of people with indigenous/African ancestry in Argentina (as opposed to say Jews) because of their rural, working-class support base compared to the more urban, middle-class supporters of the anti-Peronist camp? I've seen some racist memes about how Peronists are ugly, racially mixed people. I get that Argentinian culture in generally prides their supposed European heritage, but I'm not sure if Peronists are more responsible for it than others.
