The economy and the elections: playing poker with no aces?

July 2021

The electoral calendar is moving ahead, and soon we will know the candidates for the primaries that will take place on September 12th.  These elections are important. They should decide whether the government can get closer to having a majority in the Lower House, a situation that would allow to pass laws in Congress and consolidate its power. The main risk is the more hawkish wing advancing its institutional agenda, allowing for involvement in the judiciary system, and having more leeway to increase the power of an interventionist state.
