Ballotage (2015)

Overview

On November 22, 2015, a second round of the presidential elections was held in Argentina. Society was deeply polarized, and the candidate chosen as Cristina Kirchner's successor was not anyone's favorite, but the right-wing candidate, Mauricio Macri, was only three points behind. The ruling party seemed defeated, and in response to this urgency, a spontaneous civic campaign was organized in the streets, a last-ditch effort to prevent neoliberal policies from taking hold in the country. This is a record of what happened that day in the streets of Buenos Aires.
