Argentines are tired. They are tired of a president who doesn't seem to live reality, they are tired about the serious crime situation, they are tired that they cannot even access US dollars in their own country but they are fighters. The whole country went out with pots and pans complaining about the president and a government who believes an Argentine can eat with 6 pesos a day (1.2845 US dollars).

I have the feeling that Mauricio Macri will become the next President, I am guessing a difference of at least 6 points (He lost in the first round, 3 points difference) therefore they had to go to second round (Ballotage).

It is clear that people are fed up of the most corrupt government Argentina ever had and they are seeking change.

Tomorrow, Argentina will have a new President, Mauricio Macri. The current President is not going to leave peacefully but is doing everything possible to upset the new elected government and taint their triumph.

1. The President won’t attend the swearing in ceremony of her successor because it is not done in the way she wants it to be done (Even though she will not longer be the President).

2. She has approved the delegation of billions of dollars of spending to provincial governors even though there is hardly any money in the treasury and with a few days of leaving.

3. She changed the budget for the next year, with increased spending on Congress, the judiciary, the security forces and her social plans.

4. She attempted to pass 100 laws.

5. Central Bank President refuses to resign. Just like Kirchner, he is clinging on.

6. She wants a final “farewell” rally on Wednesday night, followed by a handover in Congress on Thursday but the new President wants the handover to be at the Casa Rosada presidential palace as it has been a tradition for many years.

7. All the senators and congressmen from her party (The majority) decided not to be present during the ceremony, there will be a massive amount of empty seats in Congress.

8. During the ceremony in Congress, they will allow supporters of Mrs. Kirchner to be present, so it is expected that the new President will swear in in the middle of whistles and insults.

9. As heads of nations are coming to Argentina for this historical moment, whoever is in charge of receiving the delegation is not doing his job and left the King of Spain alone at the airport. The latter, had no choice but to take a taxi.

10. Kirchner went to Twitter to accuse the new President of shouting at her and not respecting her.

Kirchner does not realize she is leaving. She seems to think she is now coming to power. She thinks she is going to spoil the celebration, what she does not seem to know it is the international embarrassment she is making of herself worldwide.
