Third Position Party
Argentine political party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Third Position Party (Spanish: Partido Tercera Posición; P3P) is a minor Peronist political party in Argentina. It was founded in 2015 by congresswoman Graciela Camaño and union leader Luis Barrionuevo as a split from the Justicialist Party.[15][16] It supported Sergio Massa's unsuccessful presidential bid in 2015,[17] and it is currently part of the Federal Consensus coalition.[18] As Camaño is a sitting member of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, the party has representation at the federal level.
