Just saw a story that Evo did congratulate him. Argentina will go through a peaceful transition

All that, and Bacchus. Macri's cup truly runneth over.

applaud the results of a free and fair election? Well, maybe Macri will try and be President for Life like Raul, Evo and Correa. Perhaps then they'll like him better.

Lets see what Venezuela does with their election.

how stupid Maduro is.

(5,902 posts)6. Keep in mind Macri represents the xenophobic Argentine right. Evo can't very well cozy up to that.
It would be a slap to the million or so Bolivians living in Argentina, whose presence was used as an effective political boogeyman by Macri's campaign and its surrogates in the media. And by extension a slap to his country's own indigenous majority as well.
That said, a perfunctory greeting or note of congratulations would have been best. The two countries are neighbors, after all.

seen, Argentina's indigenous population is somewhere around 1.5% of the total population.
