Sergio Massa gave his first campaign speech as Unión por la Patria (UxP) presidential candidate Monday night in a rally in Buenos Aires province, where he appeared alongside Governor Axel Kicillof, who will be running for reelection, Interior minister Eduardo ‘Wado’ De Pedro, and national deputy Máximo Kirchner. “We have a tough one ahead of us, but I will leave every drop of sweat, every cubic centimeter of blood to ensure victory,” said Massa, just a few hours after participating in his first appearance as presidential candidate alongside Vice President Cristina Kirchner at an event to repatriate an aircraft that was used to murder victims of state terrorism during Argentina’s last dictatorship. Kicillof also spoke at the rally, telling the crowd that a “huge challenge” is approaching. Juan Grabois and Massa, the two presidential candidates to compete in the coalition’s primaries, will both carry Kicillof and his national deputy and senator candidates on their ballots. “You’ll see later [who I support],” were his words.
