Maradona hits out at Argentinian president over job cuts

Mr Macri came to power in December promising to cut bloated government spending and tame one of the world's highest inflation rates.
Argentines have taken to the streets in protest against his unpopular decisions to eliminate subsidies and cut thousands of state jobs.
"Logically, I'd like for Macri to turn things around and give some joy to the people, but for now all I see is firings," Maradona told La Red radio station. "I keep getting info that he's vetoing this and that, and while people struggle to put food on the table, the rich keep getting richer."
. . .
Maradona said he is on the "opposite side" of Mr Macri and described himself as "Cristinista", a reference to former president Cristina Fernandez, the fiery populist who dominated the political landscape during eight years in office before leaving in December.
