TIGRE, Argentina – Sergio Massa, leader of the Renovating Front, emphasized the importance of civic participation after voting in Tigre today, stating that “the exercise of vote is the best tool we have to consolidate the path we intend for the country.” He described the start of the provincial election as “very orderly” and “normal.”
Massa highlighted the logistical complexities of this election, noting it was the frist provincial vote in a long time and presented a challenge for the 135 municipalities involved. He praised the successful opening of polling places and the high turnout of table presidents as evidence of a strong societal commitment to participation.
He urged residents of Buenos Aires province to exercise their right to vote, encouraging them to bring identification to schools and participate in shaping their future. “It doesn’t matter who to vote, but do it,” he said.
Massa also pointed out the meaningful weight of Buenos Aires province in national elections, representing nearly 38 percent of Argentina’s voter registry.
