Tough race lies ahead for Macri in Argentina
In a combative speech opening the new session of the federal congress on 1 March, jeered by opposition protestors inside and outside the building, Argentina’s President Mauricio Macri insisted that his government is making progress and needs a second four-year term in office to complete its “transformation” of the country. But Macri is struggling in the opinion polls and will face an uphill battle to win the elections due in October/November this year.
