ARGENTINA: New poll confirms Macri’s stalling momentum
Mauricio Macri, the presidential candidate for the centre-right opposition Propuesta Republicana (PRO), put a brave face on his party’s disappointingly narrow victory in the race for the mayoralty of Buenos Aires, its electoral heartland. But the fact his chosen candidate, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, only won the run-off by three percentage points spooked his party and his potential coalition allies. An opinion poll published on 26 July, showing Daniel Scioli, the Kirchnerista presidential candidate, with an 11.4-percentage-point lead over Macri, will have done little to calm their nerves.
