Macri does not and that will expose him to opposition and strikes against any measures that affect jobs, salaries and consumer-purchasing power, he said. “The economic changes that are needed require a level of political dialogue and maneuvering that will be harder for Macri to implement,” Resnicoff said. “He does not have the allies.”
