The guy he lost to is the current Minister of Economy...

In the past 4 years Argentina devalued its currency by 750%. Poverty climbed 15% to almost 50%. Inflation is about 140% annually. Minimum wage is $115 USD and going down. All while middle manager politicians travel on holidays in private jets, spending 20k USD on a single day. With declared incomes of 1000-1500 USD per month. Over the last 10 years.
