Wow! Argentina is saved. Macri is Boris Johnson's pal.

On the other hand: Why would MP publish a story that advances strong opinion in a supposedly reporting story? Let's see:

“Argentina in the midst of a decisive presidential election which can confirm expectations of long delayed reforms or a fall back to populism...”

Long-delayed reforms? Says who? Plans to carry out said reforms that include taking the teeth out of labour laws and change the pension system to increase retirement age only exist in the delirious minds of the IMF, Mauricio Macri and their ilk.

“...or a fall back to populism.”

For most Argentines, falling back to Macrism would be the real threat.

.....and btw Johnson is a firm supporter of the right to self-determination of all Overseas Territories, including the Falkland Islands. He made that clear to Faurie.That is not over-ridden by a cordial relationship with Macri.
