Macri won't survive his second term, says The Wall St Journal

According to Mary Anastasia O'Grady President Macri is unlikely to finish his mandate in 2019 and may well end up on De la Rua's helicopter, if the Peronist's have their way.

This line in particular grabbed my attention "Now Peronists claim that they are the only ones who can govern the country." Haven't they always?

...and this line

"and because he underestimated the magnitude of the problems he inherited from former President Cristina Kirchner..." I don't think he was under any illusions on that point.

And who is Mary O'Grady? For one thing she cherry picks and pounces on South American topics because she knows La Nacion and Clarin get all riled up by her antics.

Here are a couple of opinion pieces on her.

She likes to stir the pot, shall we say?

Depends on which Peronist splinter group has the most bite. CFK's Unidad Cuidadana and Frente para la Victoria both have huge support still and the woman is still capable of stirring up a crowd.

However, I think Mauri will survive with his pants intact and probably go on to a second term.
