The possibility of a candidacy “generates predictability” in business, according to sources from AmCham confessed to PROFILE. Until now, the head of the Palacio de Hacienda had ruled out the possibility of running for president, due to family “conditions”, but mainly due to the incompatibility of the public function in the Ministry of Economy and the candidacy.

He even left signs of integration into his national cabinet of technical teams of his opponents of primary interns and, even, of representatives of wayward Peronism, far from Kirchnerism.
