Radical Party (Puerto Grande)

The Radical Party (Spanish: Partido Radical) was a Puertograndine party founded in 1873 by a faction of the Liberal Party. The party has been referred to as socioliberal and social democratic. The party was part of different governments during the 20th century. However, since the return to democracy in 1982, the party suffered a steady decline in votes, which migrated to other parties of the newly created Broad Front. In 1994, the party was dissolved, with part of its members creating the National Encounter Party. Years later, the Radical Union was created, considered heir to the history and tradition of Puertograndine radicalism.
