Choosing between cancer and gangrene

By Barbara Anderson

Vote for the reelection of a governing party that has the country on the verge of hyperinflation or vote for a candidate who proposes to burn down the Central Bank? 

Vote for a candidate who is part of a group of politicians with decades of proven corruption and abuses of power or for a candidate who proposes to avoid opacity by re-privatizing state-owned companies and disappearing ministries?

Which is 'less worse', voting for a candidate who has never handled a budget at any level of government or voting for another who has put the entire state budget, with inflationary and indiscriminate monetary emission, in favor of his campaign? 

Social networks were active and as extremist as possible in the face of a ballotage this Sunday in Argentina where there is only a binary decision: from those who invoked the 'I prefer to believe' (a slogan of the national soccer team) and invited to vote for an inexperienced candidate because such a DT made them win the World Cup, versus those who insist that 40 years of democracy were lost in a single day, the impulse of the white handkerchiefs of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo and the green ones of the feminist movements.
