Alfredo Olmedo, a far-right Bolsonaro admirer and candidate in #Argentina's presidential election, has dropped out of the race, electing to run for governor of Salta. https://www.perfil.com/noticias/politica/olmedo-bajo-su-candidatura-presidencial-y-va-por-la-gobernacion-de-salta.phtml … 1/
Olmedo had threatened to siphon conservative votes from President Mauricio Macri in the first round. Already, he succeeded in "moving the direction of the debate to the right," @AmerQuarterly reported. https://www.americasquarterly.org/content/curious-case-alfredo-olmedo-argentine-bolsonaro … 2/
Indeed, as we wrote in @AmerQuarterly, President @mauriciomacri has empowered Patricia Bullrich to "satisfy public demands for heavy-handed policing" and "hedge against challenges that could complicate his chances in the first round." https://www.americasquarterly.org/content/what-recession-argentinas-tough-crime-minister-changes-pre-election-debate … 3/pic.twitter.com/v2ui4W0UDE
Olmedo's absence will permit President Macri to run as the law-and-order candidate, but he still faces a challenger on the right, @jlespert, critical of the pace of market liberalization. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/event/the-future-argentina-conversation-jose-luis-espert … 4/
Meanwhile, Salta will not lose its national spotlight. A second salteño, term-limited Governor Juan Manuel Urtubey, remains in #Argentina's presidential race. @UrtubeyJM 5/pic.twitter.com/viqRWPga7N
