POLITICS: Macri gets ready
When analyzing the results of the simultaneous, mandatory and open primaries (PASO) in the city of Buenos Aires, it is worth noting that the metropolis itself has long been an island of opposition in the Peronist stronghold of Buenos Aires province. Still, the centre-right Propuesta Republicana (PRO), the party of the city’s mayor, Mauricio Macri, notched up an impressive victory on 26 April. Collectively, the party won 47.3% of the vote, with the social-democratic Energía Ciudadana Organizada (ECO) coming in second on 22.3% and the ruling Peronist Frente para la Victoria (FpV) trailing in third place with just 18.7%.
