This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 184.73.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:41, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Argentine general election of 1989''' was held on 14 May 1989. Voters chose both the [[President of Argentina|President]] and their legislators and with a turnout of 85.3%, [[Carlos Menem]] won the presidency, and the [[Peronist]] [[Justicialist Party]] won the control of both houses of Congress. This is the last presidential election the president was elected by the electoral college.

== Background ==
Inheriting a difficult legacy from his [[National Reorganization Process|military predecessors]], President [[Raúl Alfonsín]]'s tenure had been practically defined by the foreign debt Argentina's last dictatorship left behind. Signs of unraveling in Alfonsín's 1985 [[Argentine austral|Austral Plan]] for economic stabilization cost his centrist [[Radical Civic Union]] (UCR) its majorities in the [[Argentine Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]] (lower house of Congress) and among the nation's 22 governorships in the September 1987 mid-term elections.  Facing a restive armed forces opposed to trials against past [[Dirty War|human rights abuses]] and mounting inflation, the president brought elections forward five months, now scheduled for May 14, 1989. Both major parties held national conventions in May 1988. The UCR nominated [[Córdoba Province (Argentina)|Córdoba]] Governor [[Eduardo Angeloz]], a safe, centrist choice and the most prominent UCR figure not closely tied to the unpopular President Alfonsín. In an upset, however, [[Carlos Menem]], governor of the remote and thinly populated [[La Rioja Province (Argentina)|La Rioja Province]], wrested the [[Justicialist Party]] nomination from the odds-on candidate, [[Buenos Aires Province]] Governor [[Antonio Cafiero]], a policy maker close to the Justicialists' founder, the late [[Juan Perón]]. Cafiero's defeat resulted largely from [[CGT (Argentina)|CGT]] trade union opposition to his Peronist Renewal faction; Alfonsín's top political adviser, Interior Minister Enrique Nosiglia, in turn saw Menem's flamboyance as an opportunity for the struggling UCR.

The Justicialists (Peronists) took a sizable lead in polling early on, however, even as nearly half the voters remained undecided. Hoping to translate this into a UCR victory over the outspoken and eccentric Menem, President Alfonsín enacted an August 1988 "Springtime Plan" in a bid for lower inflation (then running at 27% monthly). The plan, criticized as a rehashed "Austral Plan" by the CGT, called for budget cuts and renewed wage freezes - policies they blamed for sliding living standards.  Initially successful, a record drought late in the year buffeted critical export earnings and led to [[rolling blackout]]s, dissipating any gains Angeloz might have made from the "relief" of 6% monthly inflation.

A perennial third-party candidate, conservative economist [[Álvaro Alsogaray]], made gains following the [[1989 attack on La Tablada barracks|January 1989 assault]] by Trotskyite militants on the La Tablada Barracks, west of Buenos Aires.  Twice minister of the economy and remembered for his belief that the economy must go through "winter," the unpopular Alsogaray ran on a free market platform, calling for mass privatizations and deep cuts in social spending (amid 30% poverty). Angeloz took the controversial decision of including social spending cuts in the UCR platform, as well, earning the right-wing [[Federal Party (1973)|Federal Party]]'s endorsement; but alienating many others (particularly pensioners, among whom Alfonsín had won decisively in 1983). The largely civil campaign became increasingly a debate between the Justicialist nominee and the president, himself; Angeloz, the UCR nominee, remained "presidential" during the frequent exchanges of innuendo between Alfonsín and Menem.

Following a sharp drop in [[Central Bank of Argentina|Central Bank]] reserves, the austral fell around 29% to the [[U.S. dollar]] in heavy trading on "black Tuesday," February 7.  The sudden drop in the austral's value threatened the nation's tenuous financial stability and, later that month, the [[World Bank]] recalled a large [[tranche]] of a loan package agreed on in 1988, sending the austral into a tailspin: trading at 17 to the dollar in January, the dollar quoted at over 100 australes by election day, May 14. Inflation, which had been held to the 5-10% monthly range as late as February, rose to 78.5% in May, shattering records and leading to a landslide victory for the Peronists. Polling revealed that economic anxieties were paramount among two-thirds of voters and Menem won in 19 of 22 provinces, while losing in the traditionally anti-Peronist Federal District ([[Buenos Aires]]).

The nation's finances did not stabilize after the election, as hoped. The austral halved to the dollar next week, alone, and on May 29, [[1989 riots in Argentina|riots]] broke out in the poorer outskirts of a number of cities. Having declared his intention to stay on until inaugural day, December 10, these events and spiraling financial chaos led Alfonsín to transfer power to President-elect Menem five months early, on July 8. When Menem accepted the presidential sash from Alfonsín, it marked the first time since 1916 that an incumbent government [[peacefully transferred power]] to the opposition.<ref>[http://www.todo-argentina.net/historia/democracia/alfonsin/index.html Todo Argentina]</ref>
