‘Our support is broader on a national level,’ Boudou assures

Economy Minister and vice-presidential candidate Amado Boudou stressed that the Filmus-Tomada ticket had “increased the amount of votes in favour of the Victory Front” in the City, a boost that he assures will help President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in the upcoming presidential elections in October.

He also highlighted the ample difference in votes between parties who are also in the presidential race and the Victory Front’s.

“Back in 2007, Filmus got a 23 percent of the votes in the City, and right after that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was elected president in the first round, which means that on a national level, our support is broader now,” he assured.

Boudou entered the Filmus campaign headquarters and joined Cabinet Chief Aníbal Fernández and Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman, as they awaited the official election results.
