Significance
However, the total vote in the JxC primary was below that of the vote for far-right libertarian Javier Milei, and Bullrich herself was only the third-most-voted presidential nominee in the simultaneous open primaries (PASO), after Milei and Economy Minister Sergio Massa.
Impacts
Milei’s surprising result will worsen economic instability, with the parallel exchange rate falling to ARS700:USD1 yesterday.
Suggestions of a post-election alliance between Bullrich and Milei may deter voters seeking a less right-wing option.
Voter turnout will likely be higher in October; it is not yet clear who will benefit most from higher participation.
