Argentine Mayor Rodríguez Larreta Announces Presidential Bid, Goes Public with Relationship
Buenos Aires Mayor Sets Sights on 2023 Election
Plans to Cut Spending by 4% of GDP
BUENOS AIRES, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, mayor of Argentina's capital Buenos Aires, is set to announce his bid for the 2023 presidential election, according to a spokesman for the conservative politician.
In a carefully staged interview with journalist Luis Novaresio on LN a few weeks ago, Rodríguez Larreta also publicly acknowledged his relationship with Milagros Maylin, a 36-year-old official.
Rodríguez Larreta, who is seen as a potential successor to President Alberto Fernández, has been critical of the government's economic policies and has pledged to reduce spending by 4% of gross domestic product (GDP) if elected.
Primary elections for all parties in Argentina are scheduled for August.
In conclusion, Rodríguez Larreta's presidential bid and public declaration of his relationship have generated significant attention in Argentina. As the election campaign gathers momentum, his plans for economic reform and his personal life will likely continue to be closely scrutinized.
