ARGENTINA: Big boost for Macri as UCR joins primary coalition
Argentina’s oldest political party, the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR), a member of the Socialist International since 1996, has ditched its more left-wing supporters and entered into a pre-electoral accord with parties from Argentina’s right and centre-left. During a marathon session at its convention in Gualeguaychú on 15 March, the UCR voted to participate in presidential primary elections this August along with the centre-right Propuesta Republicana (PRO), of Buenos Aires city mayor, Mauricio Macri, and the broad-left grouping, Coalición Cívica (CC).
