Elections

Federal Consensus (Spanish: Consenso Federal, CF) was a electoral coalition in Argentina formed to support the alliance between Roberto Lavagna and Juan Manuel Urtubey in 2019 general election.[2] It is formed by dissidents of the Justicialist Party,[20] the Socialist Party, the Freemen of the South Movement, the Federal Party, the Christian Democratic Party, the Third Position Party and the Light Blue and White Union.[21]

The only quartermaster won by the alliance in the 2019 elections was the Chivilcoy party, in the province of Buenos Aires. Guillermo Britos was reelected mayor with 48.05%.[22] In the 2019 presidential election, Federal Consensus placed third behind the Frente de Todos and Juntos por el Cambio.[23] Since then, the alliance has formed a parliamentary group called Interbloque Federal, which counts with 11 deputies in the Congress.[24] In 2021, ahead of that year's legislative election, the GEN Party announced it would be leaving Federal Consensus and instead backed the main opposition Juntos por el Cambio.[25]

History

On June 12, 2019, it was announced that Roberto Lavagna (Consenso 19) and Juan Manuel Urtubey (Alternativa Federal), agreed to integrate a formula in which they would respectively be candidates for president and vice president, representing Consenso Federal.[26]

Vice presidential candidate Juan Manuel Urtubey is a lawyer and has served as university professor, deputy and governor of the province of Salta during different periods, between 2007 and 2019. For his part, Roberto Lavagna is an economist, diplomat, politician and professor, who served as head of the Ministry of Economy and Production of Argentina during the presidency of Eduardo Duhalde and then of Néstor Kirchner, during the period between 2002 and 2005. In 2007, he ran for Presidency of Argentina, under the An Advanced Nation coalition with the backing of the Radical Civic Union where he obtained the third place with 16.89% of the votes. He ran again as a candidate for president in the Elections of 2019, where he obtained 6.14% of the votes.

Graduating in Political Economy from the University of Buenos Aires, in 1967, he was part of the Ministry of Economy during the last presidency of Juan Domingo Perón; he was Negotiator of the Argentina-Brazil Integration during the presidency of Raúl Alfonsín; Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to international economic organizations between 2000 and 2002; and Minister of Economy and Production during the presidency of Eduardo Duhalde, ratified in the post by President Néstor Kirchner in 2003, where he remained until 2005, being the official who remained the longest in that position since 1996. As Minister, he was the architect of Argentina's overcoming the 2001 economic crisis, promoted the lifting of the corralito in 2002 and managed the Argentine debt swap at the beginning of 2005. Part of his work experience has been gathered as author of different books related to integration, economy and the future of Argentina.

Florencio Randazzo and Roberto Lavagna once again bet on an option outside the "crack" for the legislative elections. Teams of former ministers work together for legislative elections. But also with 2023 on the horizon, with the goal of building a competitive national force.[27]

Ideology

Lavagna is an economist with moderate ideas and is in tune with the fatigue generated by polarization in a growing sector of society. He is a Peronist but he dresses, speaks and looks like a member of the Radical Civic Union. His nomination has the support of anti-Kirchner Peronism, sectors of radicalism dissatisfied with the government, and progressive forces such as the Socialist Party.[28]

Electoral campaign

On October 24, 2019, Consenso Federal presented its ballot for the polling stations in the presidential elections of Argentina 2019, with the former Minister of Economy Roberto Lavagna as candidate for president and the governor of Salta Juan Manuel Urtubey for vice president.

During the campaign, Roberto Lavagna presented an important battery of proposals, among which they highlighted the fight against hunger and "putting money in the pockets of Argentines."

For the fight against hunger, Lavagna marked as a priority the need to declare the National Food Emergency Plan and guarantee that every Argentine would have access to immediate consumption. Furthermore, in order to make the result sustainable, Lavagna proposed "To increase the resources destined to school canteens affected to the Food Emergency Program" and "To include Secondary Schools in need of school food services, also with national funds".

The closing of the electoral campaign took place in Salta, where Urtubey, the candidate for vice-president, was governor. There, Roberto Lavagna—an experienced politician and convinced that in the exercise of the government there cannot be financial conservatism and that the state intervention must be adequate—emphasized that Consenso Federal "was the only formula that faced the campaign with projects".
