In an article last October, published by DemocraciaAbierta, I analysed the Argentine presidential elections, highlighting how, in the case of a victory for Mauricio Macri, his economic relations agenda both neoliberal and restorative of pre-kirchnerismo, on the one hand, and the resilience of political, social and trade union actors, on the other, would represent two central aspects when evaluating the start of his mandate.
The PRO party's first six months in office seem to confirm the validity of this reading.
