4 unusual facts about Eduardo Macaluse


Eduardo Macaluse

Macaluse was a member of the Frente Grande from its foundation in 1993, as a left-wing alliance opposed to the neo-liberal policies of President Carlos Menem.

Ahead of the 2007 President elections, Carrió formed the Civic Coalition, to bring together other centre-left and centrist opponents to the Presidency of Néstor Kirchner as well as religious and social groups.

The Coalition was Carrió's vehicle to stand for the presidency, in which she came second behind eventual winner Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

However, some on the left of ARI, including Macaluse, were angered by Carrió reaching out to centre-right figures such as Patricia Bullrich and María Eugenia Estenssoro.
