BUENOS AIRES, April 2 (NNN-Xinhua) — Argentine President Mauricio Macri will seek re-election in the presidential election in October, said Rogelio Frigerio, minister of the interior, public works and housing.
”Presidential candidate of the Cambiemos is President Mauricio Macri, who is going to go for re-election,” Frigerio said during a Monday press conference.
