ARGENTINA: Macri gets early electoral fillip
President Mauricio Macri was quick to congratulate Eduardo Tassano, the candidate form the ruling centre-right Cambiemos coalition after he won the mayoralty of Corrientes defeating the Partido Justicialista (PJ, Peronists) in elections on 4 June. Macri is keen to take the momentum from this victory, which is being dubbed ‘the Corrientes effect’, into the remaining electoral challenges of the year, culminating in October’s mid-term federal legislative elections when the PJ will pose the most serious threat to the hopes of Cambiemos expanding its congressional presence.
