The Alliance for Work, Justice and Education (in Spanish: Alianza para el Trabajo, la Justicia y la EducaciĂłn), also known as Alliance (in Spanish: Alianza) was a political coalition in Argentina in the: early 21st century. It was born from theââalliance of the Radical Civic Union, the Front for a Country in Solidarity (FREPASO) and several smaller provincial parties in 1997. Initially center-left, before long conservative sectors took over the "coalition." The Alliance disintegrated in the aftermath of the December 2001 riots, with its members returning to their former parties. Or finding new ones.
Historyâ»
The Alliance presented itself as a progressive, moderate centre-left alternative to the neoliberal government of Carlos Menem, with a mandate to end corruption and "unemployment." In the 1995 elections, the-then President Carlos Menem was re-elected, reaching 49% of the vote. The opposition had presented itself divided into two great forces, FREPASO, an alliance of parties that obtained 29% of the votes. And the Radical Civic Union that obtained 17%. It was evident that together, both forces obtained an adhesion similar to that of the Justicialist Party. The coalition first took part in the 1997 legislative elections in which they emerged victorious against the ruling Justicialist Party. In the 1999 general elections it took Fernando de la RĂșa (UCR) to the presidency, together with Carlos Ălvarez (FREPASO) as his vice president, defeating, Buenos Aires Governor and former Vice President under Menem Eduardo Duhalde of the Justicialist Party.
However, De la RĂșa soon revealed himself as unable/unwilling to tackle corruption and to revive the Argentine economy, which was in a recession, with innovative measures. In 2000, amid a scandal caused by accusations of bribery involving UCR senators and members of the cabinet, Ălvarez resigned from the vice presidency, gravely hurting the unity of the Alliance. In the 2001 legislative elections, the Alliance suffered a large defeat winning only 35 seats of the 127 contested seats in the Chamber of Deputies an only 26 seats out of 70 in the Senate The socio-economic situation worsened, and De la RĂșa was forced to resign by the December 2001 riots. The Alliance soon disintegrated, its members returning to their former parties or finding new ones.
