Overview

In Chubut, Gerardo Merino, the mayor of Trelew, has been elected as the new president of the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) following a convention in Esquel. While Merino has called for party unity to focus on external political opponents, the election has revealed significant internal fractures.
