For the first time in modern history, Argentina is being ruled by a non-traditional political party – neither Peronist nor UCR. The current government has a centrist profile and supports long term liberal policies; it is clearly promarket and has the strong determination to take the country back to the place it was wrongfully taken from owing to the populist policies of the last decades.
