Radical Civic Union

The Radical Civic Union (Unión Cívica Radical, UCR) is a prominent political party in Argentina, founded in 1891. It emerged as a response to political corruption and sought to promote democracy, civil rights, and social reform. Historically, the UCR has represented middle-class interests and played a significant role in advocating for democratic governance in a country often marked by military rule and populism. Over the years, it has faced challenges in maintaining its influence but remains a key player in Argentine politics, often forming coalitions with other parties to address national issues.
