Presidential debate 2023: date, where it is and how to watch it live. Candidates in the October elections will present their proposals to the electorate and face their competitors. It is a mandatory event and leaders who do not attend will be sanctioned....As confirmed by the National Electoral Chamber, the first of the debates will take place on October 1st in Santiago del Estero, at the Forum room in the center of the capital. The CNE organizes the logistics of that first event in conjunction with the National University of that province.

The second will be on Sunday, October 8th and will take place at the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires, in CABA. If there is a runoff, the third debate will be held on November 12, also at the UBA Faculty of Law....The five candidates who exceeded the minimum number of votes established by the PASO will participate in the presidential debates: Javier Milei, Patricia Bullrich, Sergio Massa, Juan Schiaretti and Myriam Bregman....How to watch the presidential debate on October 1st. According to information from the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, the debate must be broadcasted live on all the State radio and television media in the country. If private television and radio channels want to broadcast the debate, they can do so as well. Private television or radio channels do not have to pay anything for the right to broadcast the debate. However, it is important to highlight that the transmission must respect accessibility and must have subtitles, a sign language interpreter, etc.
 
Man, this is going to be an interesting one to watch. Tucker Carlson went to Argentina to interview Milei. This is going to be one of the most anticipated elections in South America history.
 
It's truly remarkable to me how Bullrich is being ignored, non-Milei are now going all in on Massa, and there is a broad sense that a Milei presidency is inevitable. Even the official classes are conceding that they are out of ideas . . . Massa himself, for instance, agreed to what once would have seemed to be a radical idea and idiotic Milei posturing: that the government should stop the process of passing a 2024 budget until after the election, given the likelihood of a radical change in leadership.

Truly remarkable. I've booked a trip back down to BA to spend a few weeks, massive changes are coming, and I want to marinate a last time in the current space before Argentina joins the rest of the world.
