Argentine politics

Argentine politics is characterized by a diverse and dynamic multiparty system. It has a strong tradition of populism, often seen in leaders who connect directly with the people, such as Juan Perón and his wife, Evita. The political landscape features the dominant Justicialist Party (Peronism) and the opposition, primarily the Radical Civic Union and various newer parties. Economic instability, inflation, and social issues often influence electoral outcomes and public sentiment. The country has experienced numerous coups and shifts between democracy and authoritarianism, shaping its political culture and engagement in the region.
