Political coalition in Argentina
TheFrente de Todos (translated as "Everyone's Front") was acentre-left political coalition[ 34] [ 9] of political parties inArgentina formed to support PresidentAlberto Fernández and Vice PresidentCristina Kirchner .
Fernández won the2019 general election with over 48% of the vote, defeating incumbentMauricio Macri in the first round.[ 35] The coalition currently holds a minority in both theArgentine Senate and theChamber of Deputies ; in both houses it is conformed as a unifiedbloc .[ 36] It was replaced byUnión por la Patria in June 2023, in order to compete in thegeneral election on October of that year.[ 37]
The Frente de Todos is a coalition that seeks to create a union of all sectors ofPeronism (includingKirchnerism ),progressivism andsocial democracy , includingcentrist political parties,centre-left andleft-wing , in order to avoid the continuation of theMauricio Macri presidency.[ 38] [ 39]
The front has the support of most of thelabor unions , such as theGeneral Confederation of Labour (CGT) and theArgentine Workers' Central Union (CTA),[ 40] [ 41] as well as many social organizations known aspiqueteros .[ 42]
After former Vice PresidentDaniel Scioli 's defeat in the2015 general election and the subsequent fragmentation ofPeronism , former PresidentCristina Fernández de Kirchner created a new movement, calledCitizen's Unity , which sought to win a majority in Congress and defeat the rulingCambiemos coalition. However, in the2017 legislative election , Citizen's Unity only came second with 25.21% of the votes.
On 12 June 2019, the Peronist Front for All coalition was announced through a video that was posted on the official social media accounts ofAlberto Fernández andCristina Kirchner .[ 43]
In the primary elections of 11 August 2019, the coalition won with 49.49% compared to 32.94% forJuntos por el Cambio . Again in the27 October elections , Alberto Fernandez won, with 48.24%, compared to 40.28% for Juntos por el Cambio.
On 10 December 2019, with a huge march in favor of the new government,Alberto Fernández and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, sworn-in in asPresident andVice President of Argentina . At nightfall, in theCasa Rosada , the assumption of the new president was celebrated with dances, lights, fireworks and speeches.
2021 post-electoral crisis [ edit ] The coalition suffered a severe internal crisis after the holding of the primaries in the2021 Argentine legislative election . It occurred after the results of said primary, in which the front was defeated in the main districts, particularly in the City of Buenos Aires and the Buenos Aires province. Three days later, on September 15, eight officials, all of them aligned with Vice President Cristina Fernández, made their resignation available to President Fernández. The list of the first resigners includesEduardo de Pedro ,Martín Soria ,Roberto Salvarezza ,Luana Volnovich ,Fernanda Raverta ,Tristán Bauer , Paula Español andJuan Cabandié .[ 44]
On 14 November 2021, Frente de Todos lost its majority in Congress for the first time in almost 40 years in midterm legislative elections. The election victory of the center-right coalition, Juntos por el Cambio (Together for Change), meant a tough final two years in office for President AlbertoFernández . Losing control of the Senate made it difficult for him to make key appointments, including to the judiciary. While it remained the largest force in Congress, it also forced him to negotiate with the opposition every initiative he sends to the legislature.[ 45] [ 46]
In April 2023, President Alberto Fernandez announced that he will not seek re-election in the nextpresidential election .[ 47]
