“Argentina’s economic policies are yielding results.” This recent verdict by the IMF on Buenos Aires’ progress with its $57bn bailout programme was not shared by voters, who delivered a resounding rejection of President Mauricio Macri in a nationwide primary election on Sunday. A quirk of the political system, the primary is mandatory for voters and includes all candidates, providing a good gauge of sentiment ahead of October’s presidential election. The unexpectedly large margin of Mr Macri’s defeat — almost 15 percentage points — has confounded expectations of a tight race and shattered the incumbent’s confidence. It makes a Macri comeback exceedingly challenging and may herald a first-round victory for the Peronist ticket of Alberto Fernández and former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
“阿根廷的manbetx20客户端下载 政策正在奏效。”国际货币基金组织(IMF)最近对阿根廷政府在IMF的570亿美元救助计划下取得的进展做出了这样的论断，但阿根廷选民并不认同。在上周日的阿根廷总统大选全国初选中，选民表达了对阿根廷总统毛里西奥•马克里(Mauricio Macri)的强烈反对。阿根廷政治体制的一个古怪特点是，对选民来说，参加初选投票是强制性的，而且初选包含所有候选人，这是在10月份总统选举前很好地衡量选民情绪的一个机会。马克里出人意料地大败——几近落后15个百分点——打破了外界对这场选举将势均力敌的预期，也粉碎了这位现任总统的信心。这使得马克里的连任变得极具挑战性，并可能预示着正义党(Peronist)候选人阿尔韦托•费尔南德斯(Alberto Fernández)和前总统克里斯蒂娜•费尔南德斯•德基什内尔(Cristina Fernández de Kirchner)将取得首轮胜利。
