Juez's earlier rapport with Kirchnerism soured, and in 2009, he ran for the Senate on the Civic Front Alliance party list.[1] Running, as Juez did in 2007, against Peronist and UCR opposition, the Civic Front Alliance prevailed by a narrow margin, sending Juez and fellow Civic Front candidate Norma Morandini to the Senate; both joined the Broad Progressive Front ahead of the 2011 campaign season.[9] He ran again for Governor of Córdoba in the 2011 provincial elections.
