Ballotage
On November 22, 2015, a second round of the presidential elections was held in Argentina.

The ruling party seemed defeated, and in response to this urgency, a spontaneous civic campaign was organized in the streets, a last-ditch effort to prevent neoliberal policies from taking hold in the country. This is a record of what happened that day in the streets of Buenos Aires.
