O Radical Civic Unionthe oldest party in Argentinapaid tribute this Monday to its late leader Raul Alfonsín and accused against the far-right presidential candidate Javier Milei before the second round on November 19th.

“Any radical who votes for Milei betrays Alfonsín’s legacy“, declared the president of UCR and governor of Jujuy, Geraldo Moralesshortly before an event commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 1983 elections, which put an end to the dictatorship established in 1976.

Alfonsín (1927-2009) governed between 1983 and 1989, a period full of shocks due to two military uprisings and hyperinflation. These were also the years in which testimonies of human rights violations were collected, in the report “Never”, and the military junta was judged.

The UCR, with a social-democratic line, is part of the coalition Together for Changein which the right-wing party is also Republican Proposal (PRO) and the Civic Coalition (Center).

But the alliance is in crisis, after its candidate, the conservative Patricia Bullrichdefeated in the first presidential round, called to support Milei against the Economy Minister, the Peronist Sergio Massa, in the vote on November 19th. The UCR declared itself “neutral” before this choice.

Also the former president Mauricio Macri declared his support for Milei.

Morales said this Monday that Milei is a “emotional imbalance“, and represents a”jump into the void”, with its proposals for “far right fundamentalist”.

Milei, a 53-year-old economist who defends “anarchocapitalism”And who until two years ago was a stranger to politics, surprised with a rapid increase in favoritism among the electorate, which placed him in second place in the first presidential round with 30% of the votes, behind Massa (37%).
