Jaime Gerardo Roberto Marcelino Ortiz was President of Argentina from 1938 until his resignation in 1942. He became president in 1938 following the 1937 presidential election, described as being among the most fraudulent in Argentine history. His main management objective was to end fraud. The attempt to normalize the institutions confronted him with his vice president, Ramón Castillo, leader of the conservative sectors of the government coalition. The president and vice president belonged to different political groupings. Ortiz was a radical antipersonnel and Castillo was a conservative in the National Democratic Party. Both were part of the formula of Concordancia, a coalition that had ruled since 1932.
