They self-define as nonpartisan, though they have been criticized for this assertion[by whom?].[2]
Criticism
They are accused to be an organic group that adheres politically to Cristina Fernández party, attack that relies on the fact that the group includes some State officials.
Grupo Aurora
A group of intellectuals called "Grupo Aurora" appeared in July of the next year. It was strongly critic of the government, and therefore they were an opposition organism of Carta Abierta.[3]
