2. Outside his hardcore right-wing base, a lot of Macri voters are already regretting their choice.

The dollar bill he waved at middle class voters by way of promises to lift limits on dollar purchases, turned out to be a lie (imagine that).

What he did stick them with, on the other hand, is this sudden bout of inflation - a direct consequence of his announced plans to devalue the peso by 45 tp 60% in one feel swoop or close to it.

This has been tried by past right-wing governments a number of times in Argentina's recent history, and it always tuned out the same way: a windfall for the wealthy at the cost of a sharp recession for everyone else. Macri knows this very well (his father, Franco Macri, was after all a big beneficiary in a particularly nasty such devaluation in 1981).

The Clarín Media Groups's cable news division, TN, managed to convince a lot of his voters that it was "all a lie" and that "Macri, the good guy he is, would never do that to hardworking people." They were very good at selling Macri.

I doubt. though. they'll be able to sell anyone his Macrinflation.
