2023 was perhaps the worst year for Argentinian politics and the country. An economy down the drain by an emboldened Kirchnerist government, Political polarization after the imprisonment and investigation of important Peronist officials by the Justice Department, and the emergence of the Fontainist political group, a militarist broad front faction that threatens to upend Argentina’s political fabric. The sinking of the ARA Robinson also did not improve the government’s standing with the armed forces which despite their loyalties to the democratic institutions, began eroding its faith with the government's assault on the military's capabilities. The political campaign by Fernandez and his allies was mired with controversy after the criminal investigations involving his party and he could not hope to ignore these troubles and focus on his attempts to fix the economy and his diplomatic overtures abroad. Meanwhile, the Argentinian Right cruised along its campaign expanding its base and attacking the government over its mishandling of the economy, it's complicity in the Robinson incident, and corruption. Largely avoiding social issues in which to hinge their success, the Argentinian right was scheduled for a "Yellow Wave". referencing the color of the principal right-wing coalition "Juntos por el Cambio." As the Argentine people cast their ballots, the results were as follows:

Senate (National Congress)

Juntos por el Cambio - 41 seats ( 8)

Frente de Todos - 25 Seats (-10)

Misiones - 2 seats ( 1)

JSRN - 2 seats ( 1)

HPC - 2 seats ( 1)

Chamber of Deputies (National Congress)

Juntos por el Cambio - 132 seats ( 16)

Frente de Todos - 94 seats (-24)

Consenso Federal - 15 seats ( 7)

Provincias Unidas - 6 seats ( 1)

SER - 4 seats ( 2)

Libertad Avanza - 4 seats ( 2)

Frente de Izquierda y de Trabajadores, Unidad - 2 seats (-2)

Office of the President of Argentina

Juan Jose Gomez Centurion (JxC-NOS-Fontainistas) - 12,878,490 votes - 45%

Alberto Angel Fernandez (FdT-PJ) - 11,256,206 votes - 40%

Juan Manuel Urtubey (Federal Consensus) 3,509,784 votes - 12%

28,524,004 total votes from 35,831,895 registered voters (78% voter turnout) (-2% average from 2019)

For the first time in Argentina's history since the dictatorship, a staunchly right wing candidate for the Presidency in the shape of Juan Jose Gomez Centurion has been elected President of Argentina. Echoing Bolsonaro's victory in Brazil while utilizing similar tactics, the JxC-NOS found themselves victorious in 2023 and strongly boosted by the "Fontainist" phenomenon. Instilling nationalist and militarist rhetoric primarily. The new government pledges to restore the dignity and respect of Argentina as a strong and powerful nation, the revitalization of Argentina's old institutions adjusted for the modern world. With a comfortable majority in the Legislature, the JxC-NOS find themselves in a strong position to pursue their mandate almost without opposition.

"Argentina will now begin to forge it's path to greatness!" put forth President elect Centurion on Twitter shortly after he was informed of his electoral victory. It is truly the dawn of a new age for Argentina, and may her enemies at long last begin to fear her might.
