[2] The Radical Civic Union (UCR), at the time under control of the Alvearista faction, held the final say in the coalition.

[3] This left out the yrigoyenista section of the UCR, which was divided between supporters of Perón (Unión Cívica Radical Junta Renovadora) and the internal opposition within the Union, the "Movimiento de Intransigencia y Renovación" led by Ricardo Balbín and Arturo Frondizi.

This exclusion signified a coup de grace for the PDN, which soon disappeared, thus giving no conservative party a chance in elections for many decades.
