Argentina Conservatives

Argentina's conservative new president, Mauricio Macri, got down to business Monday by eliminating or cutting a string of taxes on agricultural and industrial exports, seeking to kick-start Latin America's third-largest economy.

Argentina's conservative, business-friendly president-elect Mauricio Macri won the presidential election earlier this month with 51.34 percent of the vote, according to final results released Monday.

Buenos Aires Governor Daniel Scioli led Argentina's presidential election race as counting got under way Sunday, but it was unclear whether he would avoid a runoff against his conservative rival.

Pope Francis said he knew a lot of "good" Marxists but was no communist himself, following criticism of his diatribes against unfettered capitalism from conservative commentators in the United States.

Raha Moharrak, the first Saudi woman and youngest Arab to scale Mount Everest, urged women in the conservative Muslim kingdom of the Gulf to "challenge themselves" as she arrived back in the region.

Pope Francis is the first ever from the Americas, an austere Jesuit intellectual who modernized Argentina's conservative Catholic church.
