Peronists and Radicals Unite at Alfonsín Tribute, Hint at Broad Front Against Milei

Leaders invoked Alfonsín’s legacy to float a broad opposition front against President Javier Milei ahead of 2027.

Overview

  • At a La Plata ceremony marking the 99th anniversary of Raúl Alfonsín’s birth, Peronist mayor Julio Alak hosted a joint event with local UCR leaders in Plaza Moreno.
  • UCR figures Ricardo Alfonsín, Federico Storani, Senator Maximiliano Abad and Pablo Nicoletti attended, alongside representatives from GEN, the Civic Coalition and the Socialist Party.
  • Storani and Ricardo Alfonsín urged voters to challenge Milei at the polls, as Alak revived Alfonsín’s idea of a “third historical movement” and called for a national accord.
  • Alak and Nicoletti placed a shared floral tribute inscribed “UCR y PJ,” signaling exploratory cooperation between the parties.
  • Talk of a wide alliance has grown since Miguel Pichetto’s outreach to Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and his push for a Lula‑style front, though no formal coalition has been announced.
