ABSTRACT
After Argentina’s return to democracy, the political expressions of the extreme right in the country had been weak. However, in recent times, this scenario has been changing, with the appearance of groups associated with extreme right-wing positions on key issues such as work, education, immigration, security and human rights policies. In these groups it is possible to identify the coexistence of right-wing ideological formations linked to lines ranging from the conservative-liberal to the anti-liberal nationalist. They have in common support for the coups d’état that occurred in Argentina. Their far right discourses highlight the search for a new alternative right-wing political-ideological position. The present chapter aims to analyse the ways in which these groups represent themselves as political alternatives, challenging other right-wing positions and the left and progressivism. The main strategy of their discourses is to invoke some features of the opposition’s identity (instead of its political programmes), review their past and to propose a new political alternative that allows filling the vacancy in the right-wing leadership.
