Well, this was one of the articles in the local paper after
Cristina Kirchner won a clear victory as the new president of Argentina yesterday. The article spoke from the perspective of her daughter, as Cristina has just taken the presidency from her husband, Nestor Kirchner who was president for the last four years.
Voting day, Sunday, was filled with lines of people everywhere, waiting to vote. From 7am in the morning until 9pm at night, the lines remained long and slow. Some people decided not to vote because of the wait, while others could not vote because they were not in their designated area. These people could go to the police and fill out a form stating their inability to vote due to location.
Everything was shut on Sunday. More than the usual. Even the churches were not allowed to hold their services, although a few of them did anyway. It seemed like a great day to stay home and enjoy a day of rest, reading and sleeping the entire day. As a result, there are no photos this time, but
here are some photos (the people with lots of cameras around them and lots of photos of them are all presidential candidates).
More details (in Spanish but don't let that stop you).
