BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—Tens of thousands of Argentines jammed streets in the capital and other cities Saturday to show support for free market President Mauricio Macri as the nation heads into general elections in October still beset with economic struggles.
Chanting “We can be better” and “Let’s go together,” a crowd that greatly exceeded expectations swelled outside the presidential palace in Buenos Aires just two weeks after the populist left-wing Peronist presidential ticket was shown to be leading in political party primary voting.
