Solidarity and Equality (Solidaridad e Igualdad - SI, or simply SI) is a centre-left
Argentine
political party
, founded in 2008 as a splinter from ARI
.
As part of building a broader coalition ahead of the 2007 elections, the ARI leader Elisa Carrió
reached out to centrist figures such as Patricia Bullrich
and María Eugenia Estenssoro
, who was elected Senator for Buenos Aires. This proved controversial in ARI ranks and several national legislators formed a separate block called the Autonomous ARI in Congress.
In May 2008, the block, led by Eduardo Macaluse
, announced that they were forming a new party, Sí. The other legislators joining Sí were Carlos Raimundi, Leonardo Gorbacz, Delia Bisutti
, Nelida Belous, Verónica Venas, Emilio García Méndez, Lidia Naim and María América González. Senator María Rosa Díaz also appeared at the launch of Sí. The grouping has formed a congressional block with the dissident ARI members from Tierra del Fuego
