The Concordancia was a political alliance in Argentina. Three presidents belonging to it, Agustín P. Justo, Roberto Ortiz, and Ramón Castillo were in power from 1931 to 1943, a period known in Argentina as the "Infamous Decade".
Generals Uriburu and Justo formed the Concordance with right-wing politicians who shared their distrust of the electorate.
The new headquarters of the Ministry of Public Works reflected an emphasis on development projects.
Though founded by agrarian interests, the Concordance encouraged industrialization, and courted the labor vote.
