Macri tried to disturb Venezuela, while Fernández claimed sovereignty

The debate showed the tension between the Frente de Todos candidate, Alberto Fernandezwho whipped the head of state for "kneeling" in the face of globalization and who has not "invested a single penny" of the great powers during his mandate. While the president Mauricio Macri tried to attack Kirchnerism for its position in Venezuela.

In the first line, International Relations, candidates such as Fernández, Roberto Lavagna, Nicolás del Caño, Juan José Gomez Centurión and José Luis Espert have agreed to claim the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. Some preferred to ask Fernández what he would do in the future, as he was the favorite. Meanwhile, Macri avoided pronouncing on the sovereignty of the islands and stressed that he was encouraging open relations with other countries, while in 2015 "the strategic partner was Venezuela".

From the beginning, he saw Macri nervously, compared to his speeches in the steps "Yes, you can". As he only does during official events, the president wore a tie and opened the debate stuttering. Macri acknowledged that there were problems that "we have not resolved" shortly after the end of his term, and asked for help to work on the "missing modifications".

Meanwhile, Alberto Fernández was on the offensive. The candidate went to the clash when he recalled the debate of 2015. "Someone lied a lot," Fernández said to Macri, while "another told the truth," referring to former governor Daniel Scioli, sitting in the front row.

Macri took advantage of the international relations axis to question Fernández 'position regarding the authoritarian regime of Nicolás Maduro. "The former president Kirchner has decorated the Maduro dictator of the San Martín order," said Macri. "There can be no double talk: dictatorship or democracy, neutrality must guarantee dictatorship," he added.

In turn, Fernandez picked up the glove which was more than predictable.

Donald Trump (USA) is often accused of perpetrating this action. "I hope that no Argentine soldier will end up on Venezuelan territory," he accused, sometimes indicating the index that Macri later criticized him for. Caño accused the president of being "a lame Trump".

In general, Fernández showed what he would do in foreign policy if he were elected president. Then he said that "it is not necessary to be on your knees" to come out at this stage of globalization and that you bet on a stronger regionalism with Mercosur. In addition, he expressed doubts about what had been signed in the agreement with the European Union and said that the claim of sovereignty of the Falkland Islands would be the focus of his mandate. This would mark a stage of tension with England that could capture the voters of Gomez Centurion, who fought in the war.

Macri did not talk about Malvinas. Instead, he gave priority to his liberal vision of international relations by emphasizing that he "opened the markets", although Fernández and Lavagna blamed him that this had not happened. Macri gave as an example the sale of meat to China, which would generate 50,000 jobs. Instead, Fernandez planted a flag. "I'm not afraid of openness, but I will not let the Argentine industry nor its work be carried out," he said, pointing to what would mark a change in the world. orientation of foreign policy, with more protection for the regional market.
