Ucedé and “Democratic” parties agreed to an alliance with a view to the internal opposition of 2023

The Democratic Party, Christian Democracy, Ucedé and the Party of Cities in Action came together to form “Democrats in Action” a new space within Together for Change, with the intention of “strengthening and consolidating the alliance's electoral livelihood base in the face of 2023 ″, it was reported in a statement.

The presentation of this sector was held at the Círculo Italiano in Buenos Aires, where the leaders of this right-wing and center-right group such as Mónica Alonso, Alejandra Muchart, Jorge Giorno and Andrés Passamonti attended, along with other leaders of this space.

In this way, the commitment of the party forces to continue contributing to the Juntos for Change space was ratified, which “will be enriched with more plurality and new voices, while still dispensing with the founding ideals and showing society that the Alliance is not reduced to a few actors,” they said.

The new space represents a small section of a coalition that is heading towards a future full of unknowns. The opposition is debating internally about a possible return to power in 2023 and a cycle that opens from today until the next presidential election.

As Infobae rebuilt, the “hawks” that had been strengthened after last year's electoral triumph do not play a decisive role in the main opposition force. And the salient fact is that positions that end up winning by “pigeons”, those parties and benchmarks that propose minimum governance agreements with the Government until 2023, have been losing positions. These moderate groups include the Radical Civic Union (UCR) and the Civic Coalition (CC).

In the midst of this context, where individualisms and political calculations multiply in JxC, the space of “Democrats in Action” was formed, made up of groups historically aligned with the PRO in the City of Buenos Aires, which in the last elections were shown near the head of government of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.

Mónica Alonso, president of the Democratic Party, highlighted the creation of this new space: “Recognizing ourselves Democrats, with clear humanist values, with deep respect for the Republic and raising the flag of freedom, we decided to constitute a space for dialogue and common work, which allows us to provide clear projects that serve to end the famous rift in our country.”

He added: “We respect and defend the militancy of which we feel a part, we claim politics as the vocation of service to others and we maintain that dialogue and participation are essential as a mode of government, even in dissent.”

In addition, Alonso stressed that this new political table is necessary for the renewal of the national government and “the continuity of the transformation project in the City”. “We are present before Buenos Aires society and we assume the commitment that our stories confirm: to act with transparency, humility and generosity, to respond to the needs and desires of people in the construction of an Argentina that wants and can be lived,” he concluded.

Around last year, some of the parties of the new coalition were seduced by the emergence of the libertarian movement on the electoral scene. This is the case of Ucedé. Its president Andrés Passamonti, with close ties to the Buenos Aires PRO, proposed that “all the liberal lines that exist in the country must converge” in the historic party founded by Álvaro Alsogaray, and called on José Luis Espert and Javier Milei to this initiative.

In the last elections, Ucedé participated with its own candidates on the two fronts that are contested for the center-right and right-wing electorate. The president of the partisan National Convention, Rubén Petetta, was on the ballots a legislator of La Libertad Avanza, while Passamonti registered as a Buenos Aires legislator within the Together for Change alliance.
