In PerspectiveArgentina’s primary, open, and compulsory elections (PASO) confirmed a shift in the political system towards the far right. The result of the PASO is the conclusion of a process that for at least a decade has seen a sustained deterioration in the living conditions of the population, in the context of increases in the precariousness of labour and in the financialization of life.
