ROSSI RUNNING

Cabinet Chief Agustín Rossi formally launched his presidential bid via the social networks last Monday, promising to resolve the problems of “inflation, insecurity and uncertainty” (all three words prefixed with an “in” in Spanish). “I want to be President to guarantee economic growth in the next few years and its redistribution among all Argentines,” affirmed Rossi in his six-minute video speech, also promising a rapid return to “those happy years we had in the governments of Néstor and Cristina.” The only declared hopefuls so far are Ambassador to Brazil Daniel Scioli and social leader Juan Grabois although Ministers Sergio Massa (Economy) and Eduardo ‘Wado’ De Pedro (Interior) are frequently tipped for the Frente de Todos presidential nomination. Victoria Tolosa Paz has announced she will run for Buenos Aires Province governor on Scioli’s ticket.
