The Radical Civic Union (Unión Cívica Radical, UCR) is a major political party in Argentina.^[1]

Founded in 1891 by Leandro N. Alem, it is the second oldest political party active in Argentina.^[9] The party's main support has long come from the middle class.^[10]^[11] In many occasions, the UCR was in opposition to Peronist governments and illegal during military rule.^[12] Since 1995 it has been a member of the Socialist International (an international organisation of social democrat political parties).^[13]

The party is not currently in any coalition since Juntos por el Cambio's dissolution in 2023.^[14]^[15]

Leaders

The UCR is headed by a National Committee; its president is the de facto leader of the party. A national convention brings together representatives of the provincial parties and affiliated organisations such as Franja Morada and Radical Youth, and is itself represented on the National Committee.
