Argentina presidential candidates trade barbs in first debate
BUENOS AIRES - The main candidates for Argentina's presidency clashed in the first debate of the campaign on Sunday, trading barbs over who is to blame for the latest economic crises and how to end decades of economic malaise.
With growing skepticism among voters, the debate on economy, education, human rights and"democratic coexistence" took place with a pre-established format and strict rules that allowed little time for candidates to elaborate their points. Milei told voters that with such reforms in 15 years Argentina"could be reaching standards of living similar to those of Italy or France, if you give me 20, Germany, and if you give me 35, the United States".
"We are all crying out for an end to the anguish in which we are living. Nobody in Argentina can stand it any longer," said center-right leader Patricia Bullrich.On education, all candidates supported public education and on human rights they maintained their differences on the recent history of Argentina.
