Politics of Argentina Political parties Elections

The Civic Coalition (in Spanish, Coalición Cívica) was a political coalition in Argentina. It was founded by Elisa Carrió, as an association supported by the ARI party), as well as a number of other political groups and individual political leaders, notably UPT - Union for All of Patricia Bullrich and GEN - Generation for a National Encounter of Margarita Stolbizer.

Carrió ran for presidency on the 2007 election representing the Civic Coalition, along with the Socialist Party Senator for Santa Fe Province, Rubén Giustiniani. The coalition lost the election, although it did well in the largest cities of Argentina, getting support especially from the urban middle and upper classes.

Carrió aroused a wave of murmurs by differentiating what he promised to be his foreign policy from the one he observes today. She promised to "reestablish brotherhood with Uruguay" as his first gesture of winning the presidency. She also said that he will promote a "new deal with the Armed Forces."^[7]
