TheProgressive, Civic and Social Front (Spanish:Frente Progresista Cívico y Social,FPCyS) was acenter-leftpolitical coalition inSanta Fe Province,Argentina.[2]
It was first formed inSanta Fe Province in 2006, but was adapted in other provinces for the2013 legislative elections, as well. In Santa Fe, it is made up of theSocialist Party, theGEN Party, theRadical Civic Union, theCivic Coalition ARI,Freemen of the South, theDemocratic Progressive Party, Popular Unity, local factions of theCommunist Party and some dissidentPeronists. In other provinces, the composition differs slightly. In the city of Buenos Aires, a similar alliance ran under the name,UNEN.
At thelegislative elections of 23 October 2005, the front won five of the 127 elected deputies (out of a total of 257). At the Santa Fe elections of 2 September 2007, FPCyS obtained its first major victory as socialistHermes Binner was elected Governor of Santa Fe Province.At thenational legislative elections of 28 June 2009,the FPCyS in Santa Fe won the deputies election by a 0.01% (39.85% - 39.84%) difference with the second front and were defeated in the senators election by a 1.67% (40.59% - 42.26%) difference.

In the October2013 legislative election, alliances of UCR, CC-ARI, PS and other centre-left parties (mainly components of the 2011Broad Progressive Front) ran in most provinces, usually under the name of the Progressive, Civic and Social Front. In the city of Buenos Aires, an analogous alliance was calledUNEN, in ChacoUnion for Chaco, in JujuyJujuyan Front, in CatamarcaCivic and Social Front and in Santa CruzFront Let's Change for Growth.
