The Peronists win the presidential elections in Argentina and return to power afterwards the disappointing parenthesis of the liberal Mauricio Macri. As was the forecast on the eve, the Peronist Alberto Fernandez won the election clearly surpassing the outgoing President, even if the Peronists have reconquered the great province of Buenos Aires but not the capital.
Fernandez, who is a 60-year-old lawyer and who has long been former president Kirchner's main aide, is a moderate Peronist mthe cumbersome shadow of former president Cristina Kirchner weighs on him, which threw Argentina into chaos with a disastrous welfarist economic policy. Kirchner will become vice president and this will weigh on the new government, both in terms of politics and image, as well as international relations.
Fernandez seems to be the first to realize the difficulties that await him and already last night he launched an appeal to Argentines to overcome electoral divisions and join in the project of rebirth of the great South American country knowing that "these are not easy times".
The new president of Argentina will officially assume his office on December 10th.
