BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina's leading opposition candidate, Mauricio Macri, on Tuesday shrugged off concerns he would struggle to push through his reform agenda if he wins this month's leadership contest but fails as expected to secure a majority in Congress.

Macri said a majority of Argentines wanted change after two terms under leftist President Cristina Fernandez, blaming policy "inaction" for poverty levels he said had risen and a stagnant economy even though Fernandez had strong backing in parliament.
