Voters in Argentina voted for change after 12 years of Kirchner governments. Mauricio Macri, the conservative mayor of Buenos Aires won by a narrow margin of almost three points over the government-backed candidate Daniel Scioli, reports La Nación. Macri garnered 51.4 percent of the votes in yesterday's run-off election, adding 17 points to his election results in October, where he came in a close second to Scioli. The relatively close results show a deeply polarized country however. Macri supporters generally emphasized the need for change (in fact, that was the name of his coalition) while his opponents worry about the impact of market friendly policies.
