Argentine people "want change": Macri (presidential candidate) "A majority of Argentines, more than six out of 10, have said they want change," said Argentina's conservative presidential candidate Mauricio Macri on Monday after primary voting. Daniel Scioli, the candidate supported by Argentina's ruling coalition, emerged as the favorite to succeed President Cristina Kirchner in the October elections. That placed him ahead of Mauricio Macri, whose conservative party took 31 percent, although Macri himself had 24 percent. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
