Political movements prepare for FEUC and UCR elections

Political movements are preparing for upcoming elections in two distinct contexts. In Chile, the FEUC 2027 elections for the Universidad Católica student federation are approaching, with candidates beginning to emerge. The Amanecer coalition has seen shifts following the departure of the Brigada Socialista Universitaria, leaving a partnership between Frente Amplio UC and Juventudes Comunistas UC. Key figures mentioned include Florencia Yañez for Nueva Acción Universitaria, Maksim Baeza for the Amanecer coalition, and Trinidad Peters for Movimiento Gremial.

In Argentina, the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) in San Luis is facing intense internal conflict ahead of its October 25 leadership elections. The Identidad Radical faction (Lista 10) has challenged the electoral process, alleging irregularities and questioning modifications to the party's organic charter. A federal judge, Juan Esteban Maqueda, recently rejected an appeal by Identidad Radical regarding these charter modifications. Additionally, the faction has filed over 60 challenges against candidates from the Radicales Unidos list (Lista 133).
