Quick Summary

The Antipersonalist Union Party was a splinter group that broke away from Argentina's Radical Civic Union (UCR) in 1928. This split occurred when Marcelo T. de Alvear, who had served as president of Argentina from 1922 to 1928, broke with his predecessor and UCR leader, HipĆ³lito Irigoyen. Alvear then formed the Antipersonalist Union Party and allied with conservative factions. Despite this opposition, Irigoyen was re-elected president in 1928. Alvear later rejoined the UCR after a military coup overthrew Irigoyen's government in 1930. The Radical Civic Union itself is a major center-left political party in Argentina, historically serving as the primary opposition to the Peronists and drawing significant support from the urban middle class.12
