The Union of the Argentine People was an Argentine Right-wing political party founded in 1962 by Pedro Eugenio Aramburu, aiming to establish an antiperonist centrist alternative. Led by him and in a coalition with the Democratic Progressive Party, it could reach the third place in 1963 Presidential election, getting 17,81% of the votes. The party was dissolved by the 1966 Coup, which declared the abolition of all political parties. Though the party had a rebirth in 1972, the assassination of Aramburu and the lack of a strong leadership forced them to merge in a coalition with the Popular Federalist Alliance, led by ex-Navy Captain Francisco Manrique.
