Overview
- Buenos Aires began its definitive tally with a provisional gap of about 46,600 votes between La Libertad Avanza and Fuerza Patria, and officials expect completion early next week under the provincial electoral board’s supervision.
- Cristina Fernández de Kirchner publicly labeled Axel Kicillof’s decision to split the provincial election as a strategic error and urged Peronist unity, citing turnout dynamics and voter anxiety as factors in the outcome.
- La Libertad Avanza’s surge upended municipal maps, with capital-city mayors Daniel Passerini (Córdoba), Rossana Chahla (San Miguel de Tucumán) and Juan Pablo Poletti (Santa Fe) losing ground to libertarian ballots.
- APreViDe enforced a no-visitors regime and a guarded transfer “capsule” for Universidad de Chile’s trip, then Lanús won 1–0 (3–2 aggregate) to reach the Copa Sudamericana final on Nov. 22 in Asunción against Atlético Mineiro, with the stadium still to be set by Conmebol.
- In Rio de Janeiro, Governor Claudio Castro’s large police operation—reported at roughly 2,500 officers—drew allegations from NGOs and local officials of mass killings with execution-style signs, prompting national scrutiny and judicial inquiries.
