Mauricio Macri won the Argentine presidency on November 20th, marking the first change of government in 12 years.
As of Sunday November 20th Mauricio Macri former mayor of Buenos Aires; became the President of Argentina winning with less than a 3% majority of the votes. The two candidates were Mauricio Macri and Daniel Sciolio of the Peronist Victory Front.
The question everybody was asking after the election: Will Macri be able to complete his presidential period? If he does complete his 4 years as president Macri would be the first outside of the dictatorship era without being a member of the Peronist party to complete his period of presidency, according to the Guardian. But to achieve this he would have to rapidly come to peace with trade unions, build a coalition or alliance and get the economy back on track. According to the guardian Macri has promised to strengthen institutions, introduce pro-business policies, cut deals with foreign creditors and reestablish Argentina’s foreign laws with Venezuela, Iran and the United States, says CNN.
