TheConservative People's Party (Spanish:Partido Conservador Popular;PCP) is a minor[8]social conservative[6] political party inArgentina founded in 1958 byVicente Solano Lima, who wasvice president of Argentina in 1973.[2] It was founded as a split from theDemocratic Party (PD) following the1955 coup that oustedJuan Domingo Perón from the presidency.[9]
A historical ally ofPeronism and theJusticialist Party,[10] in recent years the PCP has backed anti-Peronist parties and alliances, and was one of the founding parties of theCambiemos coalition in 2015.[11] Ahead of the2019 general election, the PCP left Cambiemos and instead joined the newly formedNOS Front, backing the candidacy ofFalklands War veteranJuan José Gómez Centurión.[6] Gómez Centurión placed fifth in the presidential race with 2.6% of the vote.[12]
Presently, it has no representation at the federal level.
