Following the downfall of the government of President de la Rua, Avelín was a fierce opponent of the austerity measures proposed by the International Monetary Fund, saying, "The only thing lacking for us is to pull down the Argentine flag and replace it with the IMF's." In 2002, Avelín was impeached and deposed as governor by a majority of provincial deputies following massive demonstrations.[3]
Avelín considered running again for the governorship in 2007 against the incumbent, José Luis Gioja.[4] His daughter, Nancy Avelín, who also served as a senator, was eventually the candidate for the Renewal Crusade that year.
Alfredo Avelín died on 26 January 2012.[5]
