Proyecto Sur ('Project South') is a progressive[5] political party established in 2007 in Argentina. It was founded and would be led by film maker Pino Solanas, who ran on the Proyecto Sur ticket for president in 2007 and for Mayor of Buenos Aires in 2011.[6]
The party's progressive platform centers on the nationalization of energy, petroleum, rail, and shipping which, as former state enterprises, had been privatized during the 1989–99 administration of President Carlos Menem.[7][8]
Proyecto Sur maintains a think tank, the Instituto Argentino de Propuestas (Argentine Institute for Proposals).[9]
