No doubt Macri will try again his old trick -- throw money around like a drunken sailor shortly before the election. It worked in 2017, so why wouldn't it work this time around? A little problem though -- the economic crisis has already hit too many people, too strongly.

Too bad for the islanders who are benefiting from Macri's friendly approach to the central countries including the U.K. Your favourite puppet is about to disintegrate as opinion polls have Macri losing an election not only against Cristina -- he would lose against such presidential candidates such as Roberto Lavagna and Sergio Massa.

No plague lasts forever.
