Leaders of the Argentine opposition Together for Change (Juntos por el Cambio - JxC) coalition Wednesday argued that census data regarding the population of the La Matanza constituency in the province of Buenos Aires had been tampered with in 2010 to collect undue co-participation funds for the next 12 years.
Argentine President Mauricio Macri's performance this Sunday following the trashing defeat he suffered last August during the PASO primaries (48% to 32%), was in effect quite surprising. He managed to recover eight points and cut the difference from 16 to eight points, 48% to 41%, besides winning in the main electoral districts of Argentina except for the always decisive Buenos Aires province.
