Patagonian Social Party

The Patagonian Social Party (Spanish: Partido Social Patagónico; PSP) is a provincial political party in the Tierra del Fuego Province of Argentina. It was founded by then-governor Fabiana Ríos in 2010 as a splinter from ARI. Although Ríos was re-elected in 2011, the PSP has failed to gain much electoral success on its own since then.^[5] The party supported the successful 2019 gubernatorial candidacy of Gustavo Melella.^[1]
