Integrations- og udviklingsbevægelse

The Argentinian Integration and Development Movement, known in Spanish as Movimiento de Integración y Desarrollo (MID), is a political party in Argentina that has played a significant role in the country's political landscape, particularly during the mid-20th century. Founded in the early 1960s by Arturo Frondizi, who served as President of Argentina from 1958 to 1962, and Rogelio Frigerio, an influential economist and policy maker, the party emerged from a vision of promoting economic development and social integration within Argentina.

The MID's foundational values…   and policies are deeply rooted in the concept of developmentalism. This economic philosophy emphasizes the role of the state in driving economic growth through industrialization, infrastructure development, and the promotion of science and technology. The party advocates for a strong and active government to guide the economy, believing that such an approach is essential for achieving national development and improving the living standards of the population.

Beyond its focus on economic issues, the MID also champions the importance of democracy, civil liberties, and social justice. It has historically advocated for policies that aim to reduce inequality and promote social welfare, education, and health care as fundamental rights. The party's commitment to democracy is also evident in its opposition to authoritarian regimes and its participation in democratic processes throughout its history.

The Integration and Development Movement seeks to integrate Argentina more fully into the global economy while also developing internal markets and industries. It promotes a balanced approach to foreign relations, aiming to establish Argentina as a strong and independent actor on the international stage.

Despite its influential beginnings and the prominence of its founders, the MID has faced challenges in maintaining a significant presence in Argentine politics, especially in the face of larger and more dominant political parties. However, it continues to attract supporters who are drawn to its vision of a developed, integrated, and socially just Argentina. The party's enduring commitment to its foundational principles of development, integration, and democracy reflects its ongoing relevance in the complex landscape of Argentine politics.
