President-elect Alberto Fernandez will discuss the transition of power in Argentina with the defeated incumbent, Mauricio Macri, after an election in which voters opted for left-wing populism over pro-market policies to combat the country’s economic crisis.
Fernandez, a political insider who has never held national office, is due to meet with Macri first thing Monday morning after sweeping to power in Sunday’s presidential election with 48% of the vote to Macri’s 40%, enough to avoid a runoff.
