Francisco Antonio Barroetavena (1856 1933) was an Argentine lawyer and politician, founder of the Civic Youth Union, the Civic Union, and co-founder of the Radical Civic Union.
Born in Gualeguay, Entre Rios, Barroetavena owed his fame to an article published in La Nacion on August 20, 1899, titled ''"Tu quoque juventud! En tropel al exito" — "You too, youth, in the rush for success!" — which criticized young people who supported the regime of Miguel Juarez Celman:
The article precipitated a historic political movement that led first to the creation of the Civic Youth Union, of which Barroetavena was president, then to the creation of the Civic Union in 1890, then to the Revolution of the Park, and in 1891 to the creation of the Radical Civic Union, of which he was a founding member and national deputy on various occasions.
