The Latinobarómetro shows that the sector of the population willing to support an authoritarian path “if it solves the problems” has been growing. Today more than 30% of Argentines would welcome an authoritarian solution.
Argentine democracy has strong institutions, and needs to find a way to solve the problems of economic growth and state corruption that does not produce a dangerous slide towards authoritarian positions. Responsible political parties and brave leaders are needed, because political parties, no matter how discredited, are the guardians of democracy.
