BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—President-elect Alberto Fernandez and exiting leader Mauricio Macri met on Oct. 28 to find a way to smooth the tricky political transition, with the left-leaning Peronists set to return to Argentina’s presidential palace in December.
The hour-long meeting over coffee, after Fernandez won a decisive victory in an election on Oct. 27, is something of a peace offering amid an economic crisis that has hit Argentina’s nearly 45 million people and pushed the country toward default.
