ARGENTINA: PJ polarisation promising for Macri
Argentina’s most high-profile moderates in the main opposition Partido Justicialista (PJ, Peronists) held a meeting last week to create an electoral alliance ahead of presidential elections in October next year. The main thrust of the meeting was to forge a broad-based alternative to the centre-right Cambiemos government led by President Mauricio Macri but without the presence of the Kirchnerista faction of the PJ under former president Cristina Fernández (2007-2015). The subsequent internal recriminations demonstrated the deep divisions within the PJ, which will provide succour for Macri, suggesting that if he can turn around the country’s economic fortunes by the second quarter of next year re-election could still be on.
