Presidential Elections in Argentina In Focus Presidential Elections in Argentina On 22 November 2015, Argentines elected the leader of the centre-right Cambiemos (Let’s Change) coalition, Mauricio Macri, as the country’s new President. The Cambiemos coalition comprises Macri’s centre-right Propuesta Republicana (Republican Proposal) party, the centre-left Radical Civic Union (UCR), and the centre-left Civic Coalition. Currently in his second term as Mayor of Buenos Aires, Macri narrowly defeated his rival, the leftist Daniel Scioli of the ‘Peronist’ Front for Victory (FPV) coalition in the second round run-off—the first in the country’s history—winning 51.4 percent of the vote. The Guardian suggests that Daniel Scioli’s loss to Macri is the “most significant defeat for a leftist candidate in South America for more than 10 years”. Background As noted by a number of commentators, Macri’s victory marks the end of the ‘Kirchner era’ in Argentina. For the past 12 years, the country has been governed by President (and leader of the FPV) Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and her late husband and predecessor, Néstor Kirchner. The latter became President in 2003, following an economic crisis precipitated by the country’s sovereign default in 2001. Many commentators have credited the Kirchner administrations with the country’s economic recovery, particularly given that Néstor Kirchner was able to secure deals with most of Argentina’s creditors, increase employment and reduce inequality. However, the Kirchner and Fernández de Kirchner administrations have also been the subject of considerable criticism, with the Economist arguing that they governed with a “defiant populism that distorted the economy, made enemies at home and abroad and undermined institutions”. Other commentators note that voters had become increasingly “fatigued” with Fernández de Kirchner’s presidency, particularly due to ongoing economic problems and reports of corruption. After serving two consecutive terms in office, President Fernández de Kirchner was constitutionally required to stand down this year. Some observers have heralded President-elect Macri’s victory to replace her as the start of a new political era in the country, given that he is the first Presidential-elect who is not a part of the ‘Peronist’ movement in the post-dictatorship era. Arguably the dominant political movement in the country, The Economist describes so-called Peronism as a “vague blend of nationalism, and labourism”, comprising the ‘three banners’ of political sovereignty, economic independence and social justice. The movement consists of many coalitions, parties and factions, including the FPV and Sergio Massa’s United for a New Alternative (UNA) coalition. UK relations with Argentina have often focused on the ongoing sovereignty dispute over the Falkland Islands in the south-west Atlantic. In 1994, the Argentine constitution was amended to proclaim its Samuel White LIF 2015/0055 2 December 2015 sovereignty over the islands. Both Kirchner administrations continued to assert their country’s claim, calling for sovereignty negotiations and rejecting the British claim that the Falkland Islanders have the right to self-determination. In 2013, the Falkland Islands Government organised a referendum in which nearly all the islanders voted to remain a British overseas territory. The Telegraph reports that the Falklands dispute has played nearly no role in the Presidential campaign, however, because it would be “electoral suicide” for Argentine politicians to question the claim. Electoral System and Results Argentina has a three-stage process for its Presidential elections. The first is a compulsory open primary election, known as the PASO (Open, Simultaneous, and Obligatory Primaries), which was held on 9 August 2015. This stage allows voters to choose which electoral alliances will participate in the Presidential election. It is mandatory for political parties to participate in the stage, and voting is compulsory for citizens aged 18–69. Party alliances need to win at least 1.5 percent of the vote in order to advance to the first round of the Presidential ballot. The August poll saw eleven political alliances contest the primary, with Scioli’s Front for Victory alliance winning 38.4 percent of the vote, and Macri’s Let’s Change coalition coming second with 30.1 percent. Sergio Massa, heading the United for a New Alternative Peronist faction, came third with 20.6 percent. Three other political alliances won more than 1.5 percent of the vote, with Margarita Stolbizer (Progressives), Nicolás del Caño (Left Front), Adolfo Rodríguez Saá (Federal Commitment) proceeding to the first Presidential ballot. This was held on 25 October 2015, where candidates needed to win at least 45 percent of the vote, or 40 percent of the vote with a ten-point lead over their nearest rival to win outright. No candidate met this threshold, with Scioli winning 36.9 percent of the vote, Macri 34.3 percent and Massa 21.3 percent. Therefore a Presidential runoff was held between Scioli and Macri. Macri’s Challenges Argentina faces a number of economic challenges, including dealing with a widening fiscal deficit, high inflation, dwindling foreign exchange reserves, and the country’s isolation from international capital markets following its sovereign default in 2001. Indeed, the Congressional Research Service note that, while the previous administrations were able to negotiate debt restructuring deals in 2005 and 2010, a small group of private investors—known as the ‘holdouts’—did not participate in these deals and have sought full payment from Argentina for the losses they suffered due to the default (amounting to approximately $15 billion). In a press conference following his election, Macri suggested that existing currency controls “were a mistake”, and stated the need for an independent central bank. He also promised to rectify a lack of accurate information on the Argentine economy. The Financial Times also observes that Macri faces “considerable political challenges”, particularly given the lack of a Cambiemos majority in the Council of Deputies and the Senate, after the legislative elections on 22 October 2015. However, Macri has indicated an intention to strengthen ties with the United States, and also to challenge Venezuela’s human rights abuses by forcing it out of the Mercusor trade bloc. Regarding the territorial dispute with the UK over the Falkland Islands, the Guardian reports that Macri’s “outlook is less clear”, but it is anticipated he will “take a less strident position than his predecessor”.

  • The Role of Political Parties in Promoting Women in Politics - Upla Women's Network Contribution
    THE ROLE OF POLITICAL PARTIES IN PROMOTING WOMEN IN POLITICS - UPLA WOMEN'S NETWORK CONTRIBUTION INTRODUCTION The Women's Network of the Union of Latin American Parties (UPLA) is a political platform that seeks to promote and strengthen the participation and positioning of women in public decision-making roles in Latin America and the Caribbean. We believe that the practices, policies and values of political parties can have a profound impact on women's political participation and representation. That is why the Network decided to join the iKNOW Politics e-discussion on “The Role of Political Parties in Promoting Women in Politics” to exchange knowledge on the role of political parties in promoting women’s participation and political representation. We prepared our contribution and discussed these important topics more widely during online discussions among members of the UPLA Women’s Network in August and September 2019.

  • “Bringing Militancy to Management”: an Approach to the Relationship
    “Bringing Militancy to Management”: An Approach to the Relationship between Activism 67 “Bringing Militancy to Management”: An Approach to the Relationship between Activism and Government Employment during the Cristina Fernández de Kirchner Administration in Argentina Melina Vázquez* Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET); Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani; Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina Abstract This article explores the relationship between employment in public administration and militant commitment, which is understood as that which the actors themselves define as “militant management.” To this end, an analysis is presented of three groups created within three Argentine ministries that adopted “Kirchnerist” ideology: La graN maKro (The Great Makro), the Juventud de Obras Públicas, and the Corriente de Libertación Nacional. The article explores the conditions of possibility and principal characteristics of this activism as well as the guidelines for admission, continuing membership, and promotion – both within the groups and within government entities – and the way that this type of militancy is articulated with expert, professional and academic capital as well as the capital constituted by the militants themselves. Keywords: Activism, expert knowledge, militant careers, state. * Article received on November 22, 2013; final version approved on March 26, 2014. This article is part of a series of studies that the author is working on as a researcher at CONICET and is part of the project “Activism and the Political Commitment of Youth: A Socio-Historical Study of their Political and Activist Experiences (1969-2011)” sponsored by the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Promotion, Argentine Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation (2012-2015), of which the author is the director.

    Unidos y diversificados: la construcción del partido PRO en la CABA GABRIEL VOMMARO Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento, Argentina Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina [email protected] SERGIO DANIEL MORRESI Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento, Argentina Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina [email protected] El presente trabajo intenta cumplir dos objetivos. El primero es mos- trar y explicar los motivos de las dificultades que los partidos centro-dere- cha han tenido en la política argentina durante las últimas décadas. El segundo es exponer de qué modo el partido Propuesta Republicana (PRO) se ha enfrentado a esas dificultades a través de una estrategia subnacional y un posicionamiento que se presenta como posmaterial y no antiperonista. Se presentan argumentos analíticos y se exponen datos obtenidos mediante un trabajo de campo realizado durante 2011-2012 con cuadros políticos y dirigentes de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. Desde que se reinstaló la democracia en 1983, varios partidos políticos de centro-derecha intentaron exorcizar la maldición de su contumaz fracaso electoral acudiendo a diferentes estrategias, tales como utilizar al Congreso Nacional como caja de resonancia, usar de forma sistemática a los medios de comunicación como sustitutos del trabajo territorial y el acercamiento a determinadas fracciones del peronismo. Por distintos motivos, estas estrate- gias resultaron infructuosas o no pudieron ser sostenidas en el tiempo. Sin embargo, con posterioridad a la crisis de 2001, surgió la Alianza Propuesta Republicana (más conocida por su forma abreviada PRO) que, en muy poco tiempo cosechó un éxito destacable a partir de una estrategia subnacional con base en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA).

  • Argentina: from Kirchner to Kirchner
    ArgentinA: From Kirchner to Kirchner Steven Levitsky and María Victoria Murillo Steven Levitsky is professor of government at Harvard University. María Victoria Murillo is associate professor of political science and international affairs at Columbia University. Together they edited Ar- gentine Democracy: The Politics of Institutional Weakness (2005). Argentina’s 28 October 2007 presidential election contrasted sharply with the one that preceded it. The 2003 race took place in the after- math of an unprecedented economic collapse and the massive December 2001 protests that toppled two presidents in a span of ten days. That election—which was won by little-known (Peronist) Justicialist Party governor Néstor Kirchner—was held in a climate of political fragmenta- tion and uncertainty. Little uncertainty surrounded the 2007 campaign. After four years of strong economic growth, and with the opposition in shambles, a victory by the incumbent Peronists was a foregone conclu- sion. The only surprise was that Kirchner, who remained popular, chose not to seek reelection. Instead, his wife, Senator Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, ran in his place. Cristina Kirchner captured 45 percent of the vote, easily defeating Elisa Carrió of the left-of-center Civic Coalition (23 percent) and Kirch- ner’s former economics minister, Roberto Lavagna (17 percent), who was backed by the Radical Civic Union (UCR). In addition to winning more than three-quarters of Argentina’s 23 governorships, the Justicial- ist Party (PJ) and other pro-Kirchner allies won large majorities in both legislative chambers. In the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Argentina’s bicameral National Congress, progovernment Peronists and other Kirchner allies (including pro-Kirchner Radicals) won 160 of 257 seats, while dissident Peronists won another 10 seats.

    Argentina: Peronism Returns María Victoria Murillo, S.J. Rodrigo Zarazaga Journal of Democracy, Volume 31, Number 2, April 2020, pp. 125-136 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/753199 [ Access provided at 9 Apr 2020 16:36 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] ARGENTINA: PERONISM RETURNS María Victoria Murillo and Rodrigo Zarazaga, S.J. María Victoria Murillo is professor of political science and interna- tional and public affairs and director of the Institute of Latin American Studies at Columbia University. Rodrigo Zarazaga, S.J., is director of the Center for Research and Social Action (CIAS) and researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) in Buenos Aires. The headline news, the main takeaway, from Argentina’s 2019 gen- eral election is encouraging for democracy despite the dire economic situation. Mauricio Macri, a president not associated with the country’s powerful Peronist movement, became the first such chief executive to complete his mandate, whereas two non-Peronists before him had failed to do so.1 Macri would not repeat his term, however. He lost the 27 October 2019 election and then oversaw a peaceful handover of power to his Peronist rival, Alberto Fernández, who won by 48 to 40 percent and whose vice-president is former two-term president Cristina Fernán- dez de Kirchner (no relation). Strikingly, even the economic hard times gripping the country—they are the worst in two decades, and they sank Macri at the polls—could not ruffle the orderliness of the transition. Peaceful changes of administration tend to be taken for granted in democracies, but they are in fact major achievements anywhere.

  • Introduction
    IMMIGRATION_Ch01.qxd 21/11/07 4:43 PM Page 1 Chapter 1 Introduction “America, at its best, is a welcoming society. We welcome not only immigrants themselves but the many gifts they bring and the values they live by.” So said President George W. Bush at a naturalization ceremony for new citizens at Ellis Island in July 2001. The fifty million immigrants admitted legally to the United States in the twentieth century alone lends substantial credibility to Bush’s words and to the old adage that “America is a nation of immigrants.” Indeed, immi- grants seeking their freedom and fortune and fulfilling the American dream have become part of the nation’s mythology. No symbol of this is more potent than the Statue of Liberty and no words more poignant than those of Emmas Lazarus inscribed upon it: Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teaming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! And yet the history of immigration to the United States is far from unambiguously positive, as Bush’s “at its best” caveat recognizes. His qualification implies that Americans have ambivalent attitudes towards immigrants and immigration and that the broadly positive welcome afforded immigrants has been punctuated by a series of anti-immigrant episodes throughout American history. Many potential immigrants have been refused entry and many new immigrants persecuted because of their skin color or religion. Others have been excluded because the resident population decided they burdened schools, hospitals, and welfare rolls, because they took the jobs of native-born workers, and because they avoided taxes.

  • Briefing European Parliamentary Research Service
    At a glance September 2015 Argentina: Political parties and the EU Argentina's presidential elections are scheduled for October 2015 and, according to the country's Constitution, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is not entitled to run for a third consecutive term. As regards alternative candidates, the political landscape remains polarised after the primary elections. Argentina has a multi-party political system; however, election results demonstrate that it is, in practical terms, bipartisan. The Peronists, represented by the Justicialist Party (PJ), and the radicals, represented by the Civic Radical Union (UCR), effectively alternate in power. Argentinian political decision-making is opaque, complex and volatile. Parties play for power in changing coalitions, splits and mergers, which lead to a constantly changing political landscape of alliances. Political and Electoral System The Constitution of Argentina dates back to 1853. It remained in force under the various military regimes, with the exception of the Peronist constitutional period between 1949 and 1956. Over the years, it has been subject to a number of amendments, the most important in 1953, and recently in 1994. Argentina is a federal republic with division of powers. The executive is currently represented by the President, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, from the centre-left Peronist faction, Front For Victory (FPV), which belongs to the Justicialist Party. The President is elected for a four-year term with the possibility of being re-elected for only one consecutive term. Elections take place in two rounds. To be directly elected in the first round, the candidate needs to obtain 45% of the votes cast, or 40% and be 11% ahead of the second candidate.
