Background In the run-up to the
2019 presidential election, the
Kirchnerist faction of the
Justicialist Party arranged for the establishment of a common
Peronist electoral front. This project ultimately materialized with the formation of the
Frente de Todos coalition, which comprised the Justicialist majority along with a number of other parties of the political
left and
centre. This alliance was itself a successor to both the short-lived
Citizen's Unity bloc formed for the
2017 midterm elections as well as the
Front for Victory, which served as the political instrument of the Kirchnerist political camp between 2003 and 2017. The alliance presented
Alberto Fernández as its sole candidate in the
2019 presidential primaries, in which he secured just under 48% of the vote. In the subsequent general election, Fernández again garnered 48% of the vote, against the 40% of incumbent president
Mauricio Macri of the
Juntos por el Cambio coalition, ousting the sitting administration and returning the Peronists to power after four years in the opposition. Fernández, along with his vice president, the former
President of Argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, went on to govern the country for the ensuing four-year period. Halfway through this term, the Frente de Todos coalition suffered a significant defeat in the
2021 Argentine legislative election, losing seats in both the
Chamber of Deputies and the
Senate, and thereby losing control of Congress for the first time in nearly 40 years.
2023 election In April 2023, President Alberto Fernandez announced that he would not seek re-election in the next
presidential election. In the
primary elections in August of that year,
Sergio Massa defeated
Juan Grabois by a margin of nearly 16 percentage points, although it became the worst result for a ruling Peronist coalition since the PASO was first implemented in 2009.
2025 elections In July 2025, Union for the Homeland was renamed to Homeland Force (). The new name was proposed by the leader of the Justicialist Party, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. In the
2025 Buenos Aires provincial election held in September, Fuerza Patria won 47% of the popular vote, while the ruling La Libertad Avanza won 34% of the vote, trailing the Peronist coalition by 13 percentage points. The result was considered a "landslide defeat" for Milei's administration. Fuerza Patria was led by the left-wing
Governor of Buenos Aires Province Axel Kicillof in the election, The margin of Fuerza Patria's victory was considered surprising, as the ruling coalition was expected to lose only narrowly. Analysts expected La Libertad Avanza to lose by a few points to the Peronists. Fuerza Patria has since used its power to obstruct Milei's austerity policies and increase social spending. As Buenos Aires makes up over 40% of Argentina's voters, the result was seen as a good omen for the Peronist coalition in the October
2025 Argentine legislative election. Despite the success in the Buenos Aires provincial election, the coalition failed to win the
2025 Argentine legislative election, as the party of president Milei, La Libertad Avanza, finished first and won over 40% of the popular vote, beating expectations and polls which anticipated Milei's bloc to win about 30% of the popular vote instead. In turn, Fuerza Patria won about 34% of the vote, finishing as distant second. While La Libertad Avanza massively expanded the number of its seats, the Peronist camp stayed stagnant - the coalition managed to maintain its 98 seats in the Chamber of Deputies (by defending its 46 seats that were up for election), but lost 12 of its senators, reducing its amount of seats in the Senate from 34 to 22. == Ideology ==
