Sanz: 'if primaries' trend is confirmed, we'll face a severe institutional problem'

The leaders of the Radical Party (UCR) Ernesto Sanz, Gerardo Morales and Ricardo Gil Lavedra ratified that the party will run for October’s election and assured that if the trend shown in the primaries continues, “then we will be facing a severe lack of balance between the branches.”

The head of the UCR said during a press conference that “the country has already lived in an unbalanced situation. For example, when the Congress debated the Resolution 125, also before the legislative election of 2009, when the government passed laws that were harmful for the country.”

“If the trend is confirmed in the elections of October, then the country will be facing a severe institutional danger with a lack of balance” between the Legislative and Executive branches.

Sanz told reporters that “we have a fight facing the election that involves the 7 million of Argentines who did not vote in the primaries, we will show our alternative message and our project of balanced power to them.”

“We will go for those 10 million who did not vote for the Kirchnerites, because they need to be guided by a bloc that represents them; and we will also go for those 10 million who voted for the pro-government party, but also want a balanced power and do not want an hegemonic country,” he continued.

The leaders of the party referred to the presence of the UCR all along the country and stated that “there are only two political forces that count with a genuine representation in the entire country.”

Sanz ratified during the press conference that the national bloc will continue with their campaign facing October’s election with the presidential bid formed by Ricardo Alfonsín and Javier González Fraga.
