Laura returns to Argentina every year and for every major election. This Sunday October 22nd she travelled to Argentina to vote and was drafted as a controller at one of the ballot sites in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, her birth town. Laura told Qonversations what she witnessed first-hand and how surprised she and her controller colleagues were at the results and hopes Argentina can overcome its troubled political and economic history.
Laura reached a major conclusion with these recent elections, “At the end of the day, Cristina Kirchner won yesterday because it (Sergio Massa) was her candidate, she was the one that supported him financially for the campaign”.
