Raúl Alfonsín
Born 1927-03-12
Raul Alfonsín (1927-2009) was Argentina's first democratically elected president, from 1983 to 1989, after the country's last military dictatorship. His government charged the heads of the military with crimes against humanity, which was a historical event worldwide. His presidency, however, was quickly eroded due to extreme political tensions with the opposition and the military, which was aggravated by a period of hyperinflation and a failed coup attempt that fastened his exit from government.

NRThis is the story of an optimistic and amnesiac people who, at the slightest glimmer of light, are prone to forget the pain caused by repeating their mistakes at the polls or by knocking on the doors of the barracks, and rush into hopeful celebration: a dubious World Cup, a war with England, the coming of democracy, etc. And so, between pain and celebration, they await that promised future of abundance.
