Ricardo Alfonsinformer ambassador to Spain, presented this Saturday afternoon the Broad Front for Democracy (FED)and also anticipated his pre-candidacy for national deputy through the province of Buenos Aires. The launch took place at San Jose Lions Club from the Buenos Aires town of Admiral Brown.
In the presentation of the new front that he integrates with the leader of Libres del Sur, Silvia Saravia and that of FORGE, Gustavo Lopezthe son of former president Raúl Alfonsín assured that the participation of space in the political scene “seeks to alert citizens about the importance of once again defending democratic values and respect for institutions“.
“It is time to become aware that authoritarians must be stopped in time. We should not get used to it, much less allow the verbal violence or intolerance that Milei shows.“added Alfonsín, who also stated that “the need to consolidate this space goes beyond the electoral” and that “the important thing is not a candidacy.”
Likewise, the former radical leader defined his new space as a block where they will “create the calls so that the citizens themselves, willing to defend democratic values, become the true protagonist of this great objective that unites us.” .
On the other hand, Saravia asserted that Javier Milei “advances on elementary principles of our democracy: the rights to fair protests and dissident voices overwhelmed“And he added: “We need to strengthen spaces for meeting, debate and proposals. “We need to have brave deputies who firmly confront the government, instead of traitors who negotiate their votes for perks.”
Ricardo Alfonsín resigned from the Radical Civic Union (UCR) at the end of August and since that moment he has been making tours through the province of Buenos Aires together with Saravia and López to “unite progressivism” against “Milei’s brutal policies and recover the pact democratic”.
How the UCR turned out in Deputies
The Radical Civic Union suffered several blows recently, especially with what happened in October after the break with the Facundo Manes and Martín Lousteau sector.
In this way, the UCR was distributed in the Chamber of Deputies in the following way: the general block, with 20 members; Democracy Forever, with 12; and finally, the unibloc of Mario Barletta from Santa Fewho chose to call him Joined.
It should be noted that the recent radical break occurred in response to the approach of some deputies to the ruling party, because the new bench intends to provide greater opposition to the Government. They make it up Manuel Aguirre (Corrientes), Marcela Antola (Entre Ríos), Fernando Carbajal (Formosa), Carla Carrizo (CABA), Mariela Coletta (CABA), Marcela Coli (La Pampa), Melina Giorgi (Santa Fe), Pablo Juliano (PBA) , Facundo Manes (PBA), Juan Carlos Polini (Chaco), Jorge Rizzotti (Jujuy) and Danya Tavela (PBA).
