Buenos Aires, November 9 (teleSUR-RHC)-- Daniel Scioli, candidate in the upcoming Argentinean presidential run-off elections, announced new measures as part of his proposed government plan.

Scioli last month beat conservative candidate Mauricio Macri in initial elections, though neither received the necessary majority to win straight out.

Argentinian media argued the new measures are aimed at capturing the votes of the 5.2 million voters who chose third place candidate Sergio Massa.

Scioli said if he wins, he would increase the minimum pension, modify taxes, freeze the price of oil, apply tax exemptions to companies who re-invest profits into capital goods.  This last measure, he argued, was aimed at encouraging local production.  Scioli also talked about strengthening the federal police to combat drug smuggling.

Though current President Cristina Fernandez chose Scioli to run, he is more to the center of the left-wing governing party.  Scioli has said he believes in public-private alliances in which the private sector should take care of investment, financing and construction of projects, then hand it over to the state after an agreed period.  He has said he will give priority to new infrastructure and the modernization of roads and public transportation.

A poll held on Sunday by Management & Fit had Macri eight points ahead of Scioli.  Argentina’s run-off presidential elections will take place on Sunday, November 22nd.
