BUENOS AIRES - A regional vote in Argentina’s Cordoba province, the country’s second largest voting district, has underscored rising discontent with the political status quo in the recession-hit nation as it heads for presidential elections in October.
The key farming province strongly re-elected governor Juan Schiaretti, part of the moderate Peronist flank challenging President Mauricio Macri but which has also distanced itself from the more militant Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. Schiaretti won around 55% of the regional vote, a sharp jump from around 40% in the previous election in 2015, putting him far ahead of rivals affiliated with Macri’s Cambiemos party. There was no candidate tied to Fernandez.
The bank added the wide margin of victory was not a great sign for Macri, but pointed out that Schiaretti had shown willingness to work together with the president previously and had eschewed Fernandez’s policies.
