Argentine President Mauricio Macri will seek re-election for a second term this October, according to a spokeswoman from his office.
Macri will embark on a challenging campaign set against the backdrop of recessions in three out of his four years in office, inflation last year near 50 percent and rising poverty. Still, he’s retained about a third of voter approval in polls, while his most likely opponent, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, has roughly the same level of support.
