What does Cristina’s victory mean for the economy and for policies?

Noviembre 2007

Cristina won, as most political analysts had predicted, and she got a strong mandate as she obtained 45% of the popular vote.

She has now a commanding majority in the Senate and in the House of Representatives, while a majority of the provincial Governors respond to the Government.

Despite this strong electoral performance it does not seem that she got a blank check in the elections. She did not receive strong support from the middle class in many urban centers that have a strong influence in setting public opinion and she lost the election in important cities such as Buenos Aires, Rosario, and Mar del Plata.
