Speculation regarding Messi

I know this may sound very silly considering how he has never announced political ambitions, but there has been substantial speculation among the Argentine media over Messi running for president- perhaps jokingly or by tabloids, but speculation regardless. He's currently polling above all other candidates and has had multiple pieces written about the possibility, so I added him to the article. At least until he denies any interest.

You are right: it does sound very silly. It's not just that Messi never voiced any political ambitions. He is not an active politician either, and has a successful sports career... in Europe. A retired sportsman, as Messi will be in some years, may get into politics if he wants, but an active one would have to basically end his career right now (just running for office is a full-time job). If there was even a rumor of Messi having plans to retire early, we would know it. As for the sources, the one from Daily Post is a classic clickbait article. The one from El American shows a clear lack of knowledge of the current political landscape of Argentina. Other than the current high inflation mentioned in passing, it does not mention any of the current actual problems in Argentina or the political groups he would have to interact with (either to join or oppose); instead we get rants about the military, Juan and Eva Perón, Che Guevara, the "Granary of the World" myth and other stuff that is ancient history by now. The poll from the Cronista is just that, a trivia poll, and not even themselves take those results seriously. If we check the actual news from Clarín, La Nación, TN and Infobae, some of the biggest news outlets from Argentina, nobody is considering Messi for president.

Gotcha, I can't understand Spanish so I couldn't tell that the sources I used were lousy clickbait outlets. Perhaps we will have this discussion again in 2027 if he retires and starts commentating in politics. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 05:55, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

PASO

We should also post the national results of PASO for parliament too imo Braganza (talk) 20:22, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Grabois

As far as I know, Grabois Launched his campaign, and it also says so in the spanish version of the article(https://www.telam.com.ar/notas/202303/622153-grabois-candidatura-presidente-argentina-humana.html), whilst Rossi is not listed as officially running. Can I add Grabois as confirmed? Mooneylupin (talk) 14:27, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way to enlarge the candidate's images in the mobile versions?

Way too small compared to, say, the 2019 and 2011 elections Segagustin (talk) 19:58, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately there seems to be issues with how infobox photos display in mobile devices. Your best bet is trying to flag it up as a bug. Cheers, Number 5 7 20:39, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chamber of Deputies and Senate results

Would it be possible to have additional columns showing the number of total seats by party after the elections, so adding in those seats not being contested at these elections? 2A00:23C6:148A:9B01:903B:5475:CD89:BF8B (talk) 10:20, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that can be added. Do you have a source showing the new totals? Number 5 7 11:00, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why no final results yet?

Still stuck on 99.28 percent of precincts being counted for a full week. What happened with the remaining votes? 2003:DA:C713:1100:95D5:E77F:2462:F04 (talk) 02:36, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some election commissions don't publish final results for weeks or even months... Number 5 7 12:39, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just plain and sheer incompetence. It's Argentina ruled by Peronism. A year and half later, we're still counting the results of the 2022 census. Not to mention the economic crisis, way worse than countries in wartime. What makes you think they can even hold elections without problems? They didn't even realize that the ballotage coincided with the date of a national holiday, until we we're less than a month from it. Cambalachero (talk) 12:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
