I like the comment “does not admit corruption” which is the biggest problem argentina has.

Macri measures far better than any of these left wing candidates.
Hope petty politics can be put aside by the Solanas, Donda, Binner and Alfonsin type.

Maybe they are just comfortable playing the role they already have.

It will have to be Carrio, Aguad and Cobos who rule policy of UNEN over the throwbacks.
At least the UCR is now admitting behind doors they made a mistake on burning and isolationg DLR and not defending the coalition gov't better in the early 2000s.
Time always seems to put things right.

Not going to change a thing, corruption is endemic in Argentina. They will always feather their own nests at the expence of the population.

Very good news for Argentina and Mercosul.

The outdated peronist neofascism must be destroyed.

Not quite.... In all fairness I have never heard corruption allegations involving Carrio's coalition, Pino Solanas or some of the UCR top dogs like Cobos, Sanz or others....,. The question is can they make it to the gov't and once in power can the govern ??

They have no chance, it's a coalition, they are in bed with the Socialists and have without the trade unions, the media and liberating the poor people in the north there's no way they can govern. 2015 will be a race between Massa and Scioli.

Not sure I think if they produce a good formula they will have more chances of getting to the ballotage than Scioli has.

According to BsAs Herald the “top” people are already fighting each other!

But it was BsAs Herald, so who knows?

If they were really left wing there'd be no question of alliance with Macri, instead they could be allying with Cristina
