(CNN Spanish) - The recent elections in Argentina bring, more than a new president, an old vice president. If we appreciate Alberto Fernandez in isolation, there would not be so much concern, but his partner is pointed out and investigated in more than 10 cases, and not just corruption, so the fear is reasonable.
The election results have not been as polls indicated. Mauricio Macri, with some time could have been reelected: 10 points in Argentina is nothing. The final photograph is that of a country divided in two.
At the moment there are two processes in Argentina: the one of the political transition in which Macri gives lessons of civics and the one of the armed one of power. In the process of armed power, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, necessarily, has to join her past, but Alberto Fernández arrives with an air of renewal. I hope I can impose its formula. There are names that are liked by one, but not the other. Depending on how the charges remain, who will be in charge. This is the hardest job the elected president has today.

There is a counterweight to this new government and it is in Congress. Additionally, Macri will be the leader of the opposition and will represent the Alliance Together for Change, which is the union of three political parties.
Argentina is a case study. It is not normal to choose who is investigated for allegedly having looted a town. It is appreciated that there are enough components there for politicians to use accumulated resentment as a tool and thus justify their failures in the person of others.
For now, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner traveled to Cuba to visit her daughter, Florencia, who was sick from the stress caused by the accusations of justice or, perhaps, I think, to receive instructions? Scare!

There are no easy moments for Argentina. Macri leaves many tasks pending. Money is also needed to survive and sources require guarantees and economic measures.
Masterfully, the scientist Hilda Molina points out: “Hate, power and money, there is the ideology of the XXI Century Socialism… Fidel called it the silent revolution… and I… I realize to what extent they have contaminated human freedom of thought "
After this leap into a gray past, I don't cry for you, Argentina.
