It is going to be a long hard struggle to incorporate change. He will have his work cut out for sure, but change needs to happen in Argentina.
There has been too much staye control and with it a draining if finance that is much needed to repay the huge IMF debt and kickstarting the economy again.
He will likely be persecuted for any changes a d he will always have to watch his back.
There are a lot of corrupt people in the country and untill he gets that under control he will need to be on guard.
I think we as Falkland islanders may get less political attention in the coming years as he concentrates on urgent domestic and other international policies.

¡Saludos de Viña del Mar!

It's gonna be a real Surrealist movie, with peroncho goons in the streets trying to disrupt the country anywhere the Kirchnercrats can afford the sausages and cheap beer. I bet they mobilize the remnants of “La Pingüinos.”
