The far-right factions of Christian-Catholic faith ran a counter-campaign to challenge Argentina's pro-abortion feminist movement and open a new political front in the country
When Argentinian president Mauricio Macri decided to give a green light to the debate on Februrary 2018, about whether abortion should be legalised in the country, he set in motion a number of political movements that previously didn’t have great visibility or momentum.
After running and losing five times for various legislative offices, Ghione again ran in this year’s provincial election and won a legislative seat. His front emerging as the third most popular political force. , Ghione said he's a third generation pastor who father is considered to be a "very important figure" in a church named Asamblea de Dios .
They ran a low-budget campaign, counting on Granata's celebrity stature and vast popularity. Taking a tough anti-abortion and anti-gender stance, both Ghione and Granata sidestepped the most compelling issues of the country, including rising poverty. It turned out they didn’t need to.
"Why shouldn't we take a stand and say: hey, you're not crossing that line. If there's dozens of green scarf Congress ladies, why can’t there be people expressing Christian values?” Before leaving the stage, Ghione asked the audience of young, curious minds to “stand up for your Christian values and be proud of them."
But Gaston Zoroastro, who works as a psychologist of pastors in Argentina's Cordoba city, is a recognised intellectual voice that's critical of the growing evangelical influence in the country.
