ARGENTINA: Opposition forges electoral front
The two largest opposition parties, Coalición Cívica (CC) and Unión
Cívica Radical (UCR) are building a “front" to contest the legislative elections
in October 2009. The government of President Cristina Fernández is also gearing

which has increased in the wake of her announced intention to nationalise
Argentina's 10 private pension funds.
