BUENOS AIRES - Argentina’s former president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, a rockstar politician adored by the poor but feared by big business and investors, is back, although as vice president this time.
Dressed in a flowing red outfit and appearing as natural as ever on stage after the victory, Cristina made an impassioned plea for every effort by Macri to stabilize the economy until he leaves office. She famously refused to attend Macri’s inauguration and hand over the presidential baton and sash after the two clashed over where the ceremony should take place.
“Based on everything we know about her history and personality, she is likely to want to be a major figure in Argentine politics once again.”During the campaign she kept to the sidelines, instead promoting her memoir “Sincerely” on a book tour that drew huge crowds. Her Twitter feed, normally inflammatory and quick to jab at opponents, has been muted.
“Markets, for the most part, are willing to give the Fernandez ticket the benefit of the doubt,” said Gofshteyn, adding people hoped that “Cristina is not going to be the one in the driver’s seat”.
