Radical Civic Union: between the Third Historical Movement and the struggle for survival

Party competition of the current democratic period opened with the overwhelming victory of the Radical Civic Union (UCR) on the Justicialista Party (PJ), in what many saw a lasting realignment in the political orientation of voters that would lead to radicalism to play a central role in the political process. Thirty years later, radicalism occupies a reduced space, often marginal in national politics despite being the second largest party in terms of its institutional capital.
