Life
Early life
Alfonsín was born in the city of
Chascomús, in the eastern
Buenos Aires Province of Argentina and raised in the
Roman Catholic faith. Straight after his elementary schooling he took up studies at the General San Martín Military Academy, where he graduated after five years as a second lieutenant. In 1945, he entered the
Radical Civic Union (UCR) while taking an active role in the reform group
Movimiento de Intransigencia y Renovación. In 1946, he lost to
Perón and at about that same time, he entered law school graduating in 1950 at the
National University of La Plata and went back home in his birthplace. In 1950 he also married María Lorenza Barrenchea. Back in his hometown, he took up a role as an attorney, newspaper publisher (
El Imparcial), and an elected member to the city council. In 1955, a coup d'état (self-styled
Revolución Libertadora) brought Perón's reign to an end, and that gave the UCR more political strength.
Entering politics
A member of the
Radical Civic Union, he was elected to the
Buenos Aires provincial legislature in
1958. He stood for the Radical Party nomination for the
1973 presidential election, but lost to
Ricardo Balbín.
