Argentina swears in new president Mauricio Macri

Argentina’s president Mauricio Macri has been sworn in, taking over from the country’s often divisive outgoing leader Cristina Fernandez.

Mr Macri, the former mayor of Buenos Aires who hails from one of Argentina’s richest families, took the oath of office in Congress in front of legislators, several Latin American heads of state and other dignitaries, like former Spanish King Juan Carlos I.

“Today a dream is being realised,” Mr Macri said as he took the oath.
