Argentina: President Fernandez Will Not Attend Swear-In Ceremony

In a dramatic turn of events, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez announced that she will not attend the ceremony to swear in Mauricio Macri as President on Thursday. Her decision comes after Macri asked a court to declare her term of office over at midnight on Thursday. Despite negotiations regarding the traditional ceremony before Congress, Fernandez said that she will not attend official acts since she will no longer be president and wouldn’t want to face accusations of infringement of title. teleSUR
