Swearing-in date set
The Argentinian Presi-dent-elect, Raul Alfonsin, would be sworn in on December 10, becoming the country’s first constitutionally elected civilian leader in more than seven years. Eduardo Maschwitz, press spokesman for the military Government, said that the date had been fixed after talks between Government officials and representatives of Mr Alfonsin’s Centre-Left
Radical Civic Union, the winner in the national elections on October-30. “Legal measures will be taken to implement that decision,” Mr Maschwitz said. Mr Alfonsin won 52 per cent of the popular vote in the elections, the first in 10 years, compared with 40 per cent for the other leading candidate, Professor Italo
Luder, of the labour-based Peronist Party. It was the first election defeat for the Peronists since the movement was founded by the three-times President, General Juan Peron, in 1946. The military has ruled Argentina since a coup in March, 1976, that toppled General Peron’s widow, President Isabel Peron, who now lives in exile in Spain.
