Inauguration Of Mauricio Macri
The inauguration of Mauricio Macri as president of Argentina took place on December 10, 2015.

Transition Macri was elected president in the 2015 general elections, defeating Kirchnerist candidate Daniel Scioli. He met President Kirchner at the Quinta de Olivos a few days later.

Avenida del Libertador is one of the principal thoroughfares in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and in points north, extending from the Retiro District of Buenos Aires (where it continues as Avenida Leandro N.
