In this paper we are going to concentrate on the position adopted to the implementation of the Plan Primavera, of the UCR’s government of the return to democracy, by a sector of small business owners grouped in what is called APYME. In order to understand this subject, we will characterize the “Plan Austral” (1985) proposed by the Minister of Economic Affairs of the UCR’s government. We will then point to the most important regulations that the “Plan Primavera” contained, to finally explain how APYME had positioned in front of this plan. We will finish analyzing the complicated situation of the Argentine life, which provoked the end of the UCR’s government and cause this to pass the power to new elected government whose president was Carlos Menem before the stipulated date.
