Attention, attention! A rumor reached me that churned my stomach: that something suspicious had happened in the elections, that De la Espriella’s victory was the result of fraud. But hold on to your hat, because Prosecutor Gregorio Eljach came out to speak and denied everything! «There was no fraud,» they told me from the Public Prosecutor’s Office, and in no uncertain terms: «No evidence of tampering.»
This is huge! Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that in Argentina we love to suspect everything. But Eljach, with his serious voice, they whispered to me, insisted that institutions have control and verification mechanisms to address citizen complaints. «There is nothing irregular,» he repeated, as if trying to convince the most incredulous.
All hell breaks loose! Because while some still talk about fake votes and dancing ballot boxes, the head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office assures that the electoral process was clean. «Complaints are addressed, but there is no evidence of tampering,» they confirmed to me close to the prosecutor. So then? Where did the buzz come from?
I don’t make things up, I just tell what I was told. And what I was told is that Eljach is firm: the elections were transparent, and De la Espriella’s victory is legitimate. So those who were expecting a scandal will be left disappointed. Hold on to your hat, because this is still making waves!
