New Leadership
New Leadership (Spanish: Nueva Dirigencia) is a minor political party in Argentina, founded in 1996 by Gustavo Béliz, a former member of the Justicialist Party.[1] The party was founded to compete in the 1996 election in Buenos Aires, in which Béliz was candidate to Chief of Government (mayor).[5] Following moderate successes in Buenos Aires, the party joined the Front for Victory of President Néstor Kirchner, and Béliz was Kirchner's Justice Minister until 2004, when he denounced the government and left Argentina to work in the Inter-American Development Bank in the United States.[6]
