Peronist Bloc Selects Centrist Sergio Massa as Unity Presidential Candidate

Sergio Massa will represent the ruling Peronist political party in Argentina's October presidential elections.
Massa's selection comes after two other Peronists had already announced their candidacies.
Massa faces major challenges in improving the Peronists' popularity as Argentina struggles with high inflation and poverty.
Massa is seen as a more pragmatic candidate who can unite the party's leftist and moderate wings.
Candidates must register to run in the election by Saturday night.
