Union Civica Radical renews leadership across key Argentine provinces

Sergio Basile, mayor of Santa Fe, was elected president of the UCR's La Capital departmental committee, with national leader Leonel Chiarella and provincial head Felipe Michlig attending the ceremony. In Tres Arroyos, Romina Trujillo was re‑elected to head the local UCR committee, emphasizing continuity and community outreach. Party spokesman Fernando Navarro stressed the need for a single, unified voice to restore the UCR as a viable political alternative and confirmed that the internal renewal does not involve candidate selection for the 2027 elections. The Buenos Aires branch will convene on 8 August at the historic Club Atenas in La Plata to elect new provincial authorities as part of the party’s 135‑year anniversary. Across these events, the UCR highlighted internal integration, youth participation and a renewed focus on provincial governance.
