ARGENTINA: PJ subjected to hostile takeover
Argentina’s judiciary has ordered an intervention in the Partido Justicialista (PJ, Peronists), the country’s main opposition party. Under the unexpected move, the PJ party leadership has been summarily replaced by a caretaker leader tasked with holding new internal party elections. The decision is controversial and seen by some as an attempt by certain PJ factions to gain control of the party leadership. The big question is if the move will be beneficial or detrimental to the Cambiemos coalition minority government led by President Mauricio Macri.
