UCR mobilization, internal reforms, and opposition to Milei

Overview

The Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) continues to navigate internal restructuring and strategic positioning ahead of the 2027 elections. While Federico ‘Fefo’ Ayllón works to restore unity at the national level, local sectors are increasingly vocal about the party’s ideological direction and its opposition to President Javier Milei.

In Mercedes, party members including former officials Juan Antonio Portesi and Elva Roulet released a document titled ‘Invitación a los radicales’. The signatories called for the UCR to defend institutionalism, limit the use of emergency decrees (DNU), and ensure judicial independence. The local district committee also criticized the Milei administration regarding the Malvinas issue and the presence of government officials in educational institutions.

Leadership renewals and coalition building persist at the local level. In Reconquista, Marcos Ibáñez returned as president of the district committee, with Provincial Deputy Dionisio Scarpín emphasizing the need for consensus within the ‘Unidos para Cambiar Santa Fe’ coalition.

Regional tensions remain, such as in La Pampa, where Pedro Salas has warned that authorizing a negotiating committee to seek alliances with forces like La Libertad Avanza (LLA) without general assembly approval constitutes ‘political suicide’. Meanwhile, in Córdoba, Rodrigo de Loredo has consolidated provincial control following a federal court ruling that excluded the ‘Más Radicalismo’ alliance.

In San Luis, the party faces intensified legal and political challenges. The ‘Identidad Radical’ faction is preparing a legal challenge before the Superior Tribunal of Justice against a proposed constitutional reform by Governor Claudio Poggi, which critics argue seeks to extend legislative terms and eliminate mid-term elections. Concurrently, a federal ruling by Judge Juan Esteban Maqueda has allowed the ‘Identidad Radical’ List 10 to remain in the internal election race, partially overturning a previous exclusion by the party’s Electoral Board amid allegations of proscription and procedural irregularities.
