BUENOS AIRES - Argentina’s embattled President Mauricio Macri took to the streets on Saturday with a defiant message: “Yes we can,” he told crowds of supporters in Buenos Aires as he looks to launch an unlikely comeback ahead of general elections next month.
“We are going to defend the country that we all want together,” Macri said, promising that economic growth and jobs were coming if voters would stick with him. Reading the elections is key as global trade partners and investors position themselves to deal with likely political upheaval in Latin America’s No. 3 economy, a key grains exporter that is juggling debt obligations with creditors, including the International Monetary Fund , amid concerns about default.
A spokesman for the president’s office reiterated Macri was in the election race to win. “Not only did more than 100,000 people accompany President Macri at this start of the campaign, but we showed that we are more united than ever and we will win the election,” he told Reuters. There is, however, some margin for doubt, analysts said. And even a more positive showing could have an impact, helping to give Macri’s coalition more voice in Congress even if he loses.
