Voter Abstention
Peronism faces electoral defeat due to disconnect from people
Argentine Peronism has lost six of the last seven national elections, ending in a recent electoral blunder blamed on its growing distance from the people and roots in the past. In the recent legislative elections, La Libertad Avanza (LLA) secured a victory by channeling collective suffering into a narrative of redemption through sacrifice. The 34% voter abstention highlights emotional exhaustion in democracy.
