Overview

  • The legally mandated Buenos Aires City legislative debate, featuring all 17 candidates, concluded on April 29 after nearly three hours of structured discourse.
  • Manuel Adorni and Leandro Santoro released contrasting campaign ads, with Adorni focusing on public security and Santoro highlighting delayed infrastructure projects like Subway Line F.
  • Adorni’s ad included footage of a Devoto Jail riot and a cameo by President Javier Milei, emphasizing security concerns and criticizing Santoro’s past stance on prisoner releases.
  • Santoro’s campaign spot creatively omitted the letter 'F' to draw attention to the long-delayed Subway Line F, while also critiquing the current administration’s education policies.
  • Recent polling indicates that Santoro, once the clear front-runner, has seen his lead diminish, marking a significant shift in voter sentiment ahead of the May 18 elections.
