ARGENTINA: Bullrich wins debate but all eyes now on peso
Patricia Bullrich was the strongest performer in the second presidential debate on 8 October in marked contrast to the previous week. Whether it is enough to catapult the candidate for the right-of-centre opposition coalition Juntos por el Cambio (JxC), into one of the top two berths in the first round on 22 October and into a run-off is far from clear. The focus has quickly shifted from the debate to a currency meltdown and exchange of barbs between the far-right populist candidate, Javier Milei, the current frontrunner, and Sergio Massa, the economy minister and presidential candidate of the ruling Peronist coalition Unión por la Patria (UP).
