BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Roxana Gonzalez, a bookshop owner in Buenos Aires, has a plea for new Argentine President Alberto Fernandez, who takes over power on Tuesday amid the pressures of recession, heavy debt and inflation.

"What I want is to fix this disaster," Gonzalez said at her bookstore on a busy avenue in Buenos Aires, with a large sign reading "liquidation" hanging above the entrance.
