AKPD Congratulates Francisco de Narváez and the Union-PRO list for Stunning Victory
AKPD Message and Media congratulates Francisco de Narváez and the Union-Pro list for an historic victory in last week’s parliamentary elections in Argentina.
AKPD worked with Francisco de Narváez to create message and media strategies that helped defeat the long-standing majority in Parliament, headed by former president Nestor Kirchner. Neither Nestor or current president Cristina Kirchner have ever lost a major election, prompting the Associated Press to call the results “stunning” and the New York Times referred to it as a “crushing defeat” for the incumbents.
Larry Grisolano, AKPD’s managing partner, said: “The people of the province of Buenos Aires have chosen reform — putting an end to politics-as-usual, and rejecting those who put the interests of powerful insiders before the economic and security needs of ordinary people. De Narváez is an inspirational symbol of hope for people across the world who are using the power of their votes to hold governments accountable to their every day needs. ”
AKPD has a long history as media and message consultants to successful campaigns at every level of government.
