		In 1997, Frepaso and UCR overcame their differences to form the Alliance, a coalition that is successfully challenging the Peronists' lock on power.
		Frepaso came late to accepting the basic tenets of economic policy, including peso convertibility, and still has to reassure financial markets from time to time of its commitment to the economic orthodoxy.
		The Frepaso candidate won the Buenos Aires mayoral race in May 2000, partly compensating for the party having done badly out of the carve-up of ministerial posts in the new government.

	Vea y Lea - Horacio Verbitsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		El gran salto del Frepaso se produjo como consecuencia de su oposición al Pacto de Olivos, que le permitió presentarse como una alternativa distinta a la política entendida como componenda entre caudillos con más ambiciones que principios, como Menem y Alfonsín.
		Los proyectos que varios dirigentes del Frepaso han elaborado para reducir la duración de las campañas, poner un corset legal a los aportes empresarios y un tope a los gastos, son razonables intentos de supervivencia.
		Ya sea que el Frepaso intente salir de esta ciénaga, para descubrir que su fetidez es persistente, o que se resigne a hozar en ella, gane o pierda en Buenos Aires la elección de hoy puede ser su canto del cisne.

		Alvarez, whose Frepaso has 36 congressmen and women in the 257-member Chamber of Deputies, said that he would continue to support De la Rua.
		Frepaso's clout in the government was sharply reduced by Thursday's reshuffle, which benefited the two officials most sullied by the bribe scandal.

	Argentina: Congress grants Cavallo emergency powers: Wall Street's man in charge
		The loan was conditioned on the Argentine government implementing a new package of drastic austerity measures, aimed at cutting public sector jobs and wages, slashing pensions and imposing new labor codes on the working class.
		Popular outrage over the plan forced a breakup of the alliance between De la Rua's Radical Party and Frepaso, a coalition of left-nationalist and reformist groups, many of them spun off by the rightward lurch of Peronism.
		Four Frepaso ministers resigned after Cavallo's predecessor, Ricardo Lopez Murphy, who lasted just two weeks in office, unveiled a harsh plan that would have cut public spending by $4.5 billion and axed 80,000 public sector jobs.

		As head of a progressive alliance that includes the left-leaning Frepaso Party, De la Rua was poised to make a clean break with the corrupt practices that thrived under his predecessor, Carlos Saul Menem.
		Part of the bargain was to jump-start the economy, which had trailed badly during Menem's last year in office.
		Though unsubstantiated, rumours that the opposition Peronist party were paid off to vote for a previous package of economic reforms have hurt the image of all parties concerned.

	GOVERNMENT AND OPPOSITION, FORTHCOMING WINTER 2000
		As a reaction to this, the Radicales decided to enter into an alliance with the rising star of the Frepaso, hoping that it would soon be reduced to size, once the electorate "pardoned" Alfonsín, which more or less has happened.
		The formation of the Frepaso, uniting almost a dozen small political parties, is a sign of maturation in this area.
		In fact, there are elements, especially within the Frepaso, who are bent on developing a "Peronist leg" of the Alianza, incorporating a major sector of that movement.

		"FREPASO is a neophyte party that has become contaminated with the incorporation of some of the people who bear responsibility for the 5,000% inflation we previously had in Argentina," said Menem.
		That suggestion, according to analysts, was prompted by the fear of both the Peronists and the UCR that FREPASO threatens the two-party system that has dominated Argentine politics for 100 years.
		Bordon's popularity is strongest among those sectors of society that have suffered economically under the neoliberal policies of the Menem administration such as pensioners, laid- off workers in the private and public sectors, teachers who are threatened by education reforms, and small farmers.

	Comentario sobre el Movimiento de Participación Ciudadana y las perspectivas del Frepaso – Vicente Palermo y Marcos ...
		Los errores cometidos en la gestión durante los primeros 10 meses, los casos de corrupción que involucraron a funcionarios propios, las dificultades para instrumentar reformas institucionales efectivas, frustraron en gran medida las expectativas depositadas en la Alianza, afectando en particular al Frepaso, que sin duda era el polo aliancista más directamente asociado a dichas promesas.
		De confirmarse y profundizarse esta frustración, muy probablemente se generará un voto castigo hacia la fuerza y hacia todos aquellos que queden asociados directamente con ella.
		Corregir los errores dentro del Frepaso y apostar a una recuperación del gobierno de la Alianza exige grandes esfuerzos y puede no dar buenos resultados.

		Os analistas afirmam que a Frepaso apenas espera "ser demitida" da coalizão, para partir, e assim, não ser vista como a responsável do fracasso definitivo da Aliança.

		The most recent member to break away was Alicia Castro of the Solidarity Country Front (Frepaso), because of her belief that "the Alliance made a mockery of popular will by handing over the country to Cavallo, on whom the people had already passed judgment with 10% of the vote."
		Cavallo, former minister of the economy with Carlos Menem’s Justicialista administration, presidential candidate in 1999 and leader of the Action for the Republic Party, was recently appointed to that ministry in a last-ditch effort to solve the profound economic and financial crisis into which the country has plunged.
		The re-selected minister of the economy entered the cabinet with the presentation of a bill which includes delegating legislative authority to the executive power in order to adopt measures to surmount the crisis, according to Cavallo.

		The ruling Alliance was composed of the UCR and the center-left Front for a Country in Solidarity (FREPASO), which is also falling apart.
		Tensions in the government became public when FREPASO leader Carlos “Chacho” Alvarez, the main architect of the Alliance, resigned from the vice presidency last October.
		At the time he insisted that the coalition remained solid, but early this month he announced that he was dropping out of politics, and he questioned the government’s ability to carry out the program it campaigned on in 1999.

	Argentina's de la Rua: He Used to Be Boring but Clean (int'l edition)
		Alvarez, who heads the left-leaning Frepaso party, abandoned his post after de la Rua refused to sack officials accused of funneling cash to legislators to win support for a controversial labor reform bill approved in April.
		Lacking a majority of its own, de la Rua's Radical Party needs the support of Frepaso, or the hostile Peronist opposition, to pass the budget and fulfill its promise to the International Monetary Fund to trim the fiscal deficit.
		Members of Frepaso have hinged their continued support of de la Rua on the removal of intelligence chief Fernando de Santibanes, whose agency is believed to be the source of the alleged bribes.

	Frepaso se separó de los radicales en Congreso argentino
		El bloque de diputados del centro izquierdista Frepaso resolvió hoy, miércoles, separarse de la Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) y, por lo tanto, terminar con la bancada de la Alianza, la coalición gobernante en Argentina, en un proceso confuso que también dejó heridas internas entre los frepasistas.
		Además de la ruptura con la UCR, el bloque del Frepaso se dividió entre 18 legisladores críticos y otros cuatro más moderados, en donde quedó la conducción representada por Darío Alessandro y Rodolfo Rodil.
		Se trata del final del bloque de la Alianza, una situación que deja al Justicialismo con la primera mayoría relativa en la Cámara de Diputados, ya que supera por 19 diputados a los radicales.

		A grouping of mostly left-leaning parties and former Peronists – the Front for a Country in Solidarity (Frente por un País Solidario, or FREPASO) – emerged in the 1990s as a serious political contender, especially in the federal capital.
		In August 1997, the UCR and FREPASO formed a coalition called the Alliance for Work, Justice and Education (the Alliance).
