Argentina’s five main presidential candidates took to the stage for the second and final presidential debate ahead of the October 22 general elections. Presidential candidates sparred over security, corruption, economic inclusion, workers’ rights, and environmental protections. The debate’s three topic sections were security, work and production, and human development, housing, and the environment. In their starting speeches, nearly all candidates, save Bregman, condemned Hamas’ attack against Israel over the weekend. Describing an “Argentine FBI,” Massa pledged to create a national law enforcement agency to combat corruption, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.
