Until that moment, the PS had not yet defined its policy of alliances at the national level, having tried to achieve a Progressive Front that would integrate the center-left forces at the national level since the end of 2009. The tension in which the PS found itself had two fronts: on the one hand, its relationship with the UCR, with which it formed the Progressive, Civic and Social Front in Santa Fe (a coalition that had led Binner to govern the province). and on the other hand, different center-left forces headed by ...
