LEFT-OF-CENTRE Peronist Alberto Fernandez will be Argentina’s next president after roundly defeating the incumbent, Mauricio Macri, in elections held on October 27, thus obviating the need for a second round run-off that would have taken place on November 24.
Elected as his vice-president was the former president of the republic, Cristina Fernandez, (no relation) for whom Alberto Fernandez was formerly chief of staff.
Macri’s defeat signifies a rejection of neoliberal economics and comes at a time when Latin America is convulsed by conflicts arising from popular reaction to similar policies in Ecuador, Chile and Haiti.
