^ A: The party has been variously described as centrist, [4] centre-left, [5] and centre-right. [6]  | |
The Frente Renovador (FR) is an Argentine Peronist political party. The party is a member of the centre-left [7] political coalition Union for the Homeland. In 2019 the party was legally recognized after obtaining definitive legal status in the electoral districts of Buenos Aires Province, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Santa Cruz, Tucumán, Santiago del Estero, Santa Fe, La Pampa and Chubut. [8] [9] [10] [11]
The immediate precedent is a district electoral coalition of the Buenos Aires Province in Argentina, established in 2013 to participate in the legislative elections of that year. It was composed by the parties Fuerza Organizada Renovadora Democrática, Frente Renovador de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Unión Popular, Nuevo Buenos Aires, Tercera Posición, Movimiento por la Equidad, la Justicia y la Organización Popular, Party of Labour and Equity, and the Partido de la Concertación Social, and recognized Sergio Massa as its most prominent leader, who headed the list of candidates for national deputies. [12]
Although the Frente Renovador did not run in the 2015 presidential elections, the national political coalition UNA, which supported Sergio Massa's candidacy for president, is frequently referred to as the "Renewal Front". [13] Currently, the party is a member of the Union for the Homeland political coalition, previously called Everybody's Front, which fielded Massa himself as a candidate for the first national deputy for the Buenos Aires Province. In December 2019 Massa was elected President of the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation, occupying the third place in the presidential line of succession.
In the 2023 elections, Sergio Massa was the candidate put forward by the Renewal Front and Union for the Homeland, and became the most voted Peronist candidate. Nevertheless, he lost in the ballotage to candidate Javier Milei, who was sworn in as president of Argentina on 10 December. [14]
It was in opposition against the ruling Front for Victory faction within the Justicialist Party and therefore considered part of the dissident Peronist wing [15] until 2019.
The Front was founded by Sergio Massa, the mayor of Tigre, in 2013, ahead of the Argentine mid-term elections. [16] Massa was chief of the cabinet under President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner from 2008 to 2009 and member of the Front for Victory but broke with the Kirchnerist faction and formed his own political movement.
In the October 2013 mid-term election for the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, the party won 43.9% of the votes and 16 of 35 seats in Buenos Aires Province, distancing the Front of Victory by more than 11 percentage points. [17] [18]
The Renewal Front demonstrated against a possible reform of the National Constitution to enable a third consecutive term of the then President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. [19]
The Renewal Front held Sergio Massa's candidacy for Presidency within the national coalition for United for a New Alternative. Massa triumphs in the intern against José Manuel de la Sota and is a candidate in the 2015 presidential elections, where he obtained third place and failed to enter the ballotage.
In the 2017 legislative elections, it is grouped together with Generation for a National Encounter, led by Margarita Stolbizer, to form the 1 Country front which promoted the Massa formula for senator and Felipe Solá for deputy. [20]
After discrepancies regarding the direction that space should take in October 2018, Felipe Solá with Facundo Moyano, Daniel Arroyo, Fernando Asencio and Jorge Toboada decided to leave the space, forming another block in congress and definitively breaking with Sergio Massa. [21]
In 2019, the Renewal Front formed the Frente de Todos supporting the presidential formula Alberto Fernández – Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. The leader of the party, Sergio Massa, ran for the first national deputy candidate for the province of Buenos Aires. Massa became President of the Chamber of Deputies and Mario Meoni became Minister of Transport. In July 2022, Sergio Massa transferred to economy 'superminister', leading a new ministry overseeing economic, manufacturing and agricultural policy. [22]
In the 2023 Argentine general election, Massa was the presidential candidate of the ruling Union for the Homeland. In the runoff Libertarian candidate Javier Milei defeated Massa with 55.7% of the vote, the highest percentage of the vote since Argentina's transition to democracy. Massa conceded defeat shortly before the official results were published. [23] [24]

A su vez, intenta trazar una división en el seno del peronismo, entre el sector responsable, interpretado por los gobernadores del interior del país y el centrista Frente Renovador, y la rama populista, representada por el kirchnerismo.[At the same time, he is attempting to draw a line within Peronism between the responsible sector, represented by the governors of the interior of the country and the centrist Frente Renovador, and the populist branch, represented by Kirchnerism.]

Este miércoles vence el plazo para inscribir partidos y frentes y el último enigma a ser desentrañado es cómo se llamará la unión de las fuerzas de la expresidenta peronista de centroizquierda Cristina Kirchner con las del Frente Renovador de un exjefe de gabinete suyo, el centrista Sergio Massa, hasta hace poco un peronista antikirchnerista que buscaba presentar su candidatura presidencial.[This Wednesday is the deadline for registering parties and coalitions, and the last mystery to be unravelled is what the alliance between the forces of centre-left Peronist former president Cristina Kirchner and those of the Frente Renovador (Renewal Front) led by her former chief of staff, centrist Sergio Massa, will be called. Until recently, Massa was an anti-Kirchnerist Peronist who was seeking to run for president.]
En 2015, Massa se presentó a las elecciones presidenciales por su propio partido centrista, el Frente Renovador (FR), con la promesa de enviar a prisión por corrupción a los miembros del movimiento de Kirchner.[In 2015, Massa ran for president on behalf of his own centrist party, the Frente Renovador (FR), promising to send members of Kirchner's movement to prison for corruption.]

Y el kirchnerismo (proveniente del Peronismo) integra sectores de centroizquierda e izquierda, y lideró en la última contienda electoral el espacio "Frente de Todos" (al que se incorporó el centrista "Frente Renovador"), pero en elecciones anteriores al "Frente para la victoria".[And Kirchnerism (which originated from Peronism) integrates centre-left and left-wing sectors, and led the ‘Frente de Todos’ (Front for All) coalition in the last election (which was joined by the centrist ‘Frente Renovador’ (Renewal Front)), but in previous elections it led the ‘Frente para la Victoria’ (Front for Victory).]
Massa ha sabido rentabilizar de momento su postura centrista y moderada ante una figura mucho más rompedora como la de Milei, que incluso ha relativizado los crímenes de los militares en la dictadura y ha criticado al papa Francisco.[Massa has managed to capitalise on his centrist and moderate stance in the face of a much more disruptive figure such as Milei, who has even downplayed the crimes committed by the military during the dictatorship and criticised Pope Francis.]

Una alianza inédita que va desde el centrista Frente Renovador de Sergio Massa a partidos radicales de izquierdas como Frente Patria Grande, el Partido Intransigente o Somos; desde el Partido Justicialista (la principal referencias del peronismo), a organizaciones de extrema izquierda como el Partido Solidario o el viejo Partido Comunista.[An unprecedented alliance ranging from Sergio Massa's centrist Frente Renovador to radical left-wing parties such as Frente Patria Grande, Partido Intransigente and Somos; from the Partido Justicialista (the main reference point for Peronism) to far-left organisations such as the Partido Solidario and the old Communist Party.]
The biggest loser from these early tests of national presidential credibility is Sergio Massa, mayor of the municipality of Tigre near Buenos Aires, and leader of the dissident Peronist centrist Renewal Front (Frente Renovador: FR).
Mr Massa — former mayor of Tigre, a middle-class suburban district north of Buenos Aires — was Ms Fernández's cabinet chief in 2008-09 before splitting from the government when he "no longer felt part of what was happening", forming the centrist Renewal Front party to run in the 2013 midterms.
In 2015, Massa ran for president for his own centrist party, Renewal Front, on a pledge to send members of Kirchner's movement to prison for corruption.
The 2013 legislative elections raised the profile of a centrist dissident Peronist faction known as the Renewal Front (FR) led by Sergio Massa (a former Fernández cabinet chief and former mayor of Tigre) who was elected to the Chamber of Deputies.
He has already delivered on his first task: six years after having departed, Sergio Massa and his centrist Renewal Front have been roped back into the Peronist family.
Speakers at the event were Manzur; lawmaker for the centrist Renewal Front in Congress, Graciela Camaño; and CGT leader Héctor Daer.
Sergio Massa, a national congressman from Buenos Aires province and head of the Renewal Front – a centrist Peronist faction that rivals Kirchner's – is polling around 14%.
El exjefe de gabinete de CFK posiciona a su Frente Renovador como la posible "fuerza de centro progresista" de cara a 2019.[CFK's former chief of staff positions his Frente Renovador party as the possible ‘progressive centrist force’ for 2019.]
In a shocking shift following the Argentine primary elections in August, which saw the victory of far-right Javier Milei, center-left Sergio Massa pulled ahead in the first round of presidential elections in the country.
Center-left Sergio Massa, the current economy minister, would get 35% and center-right Patricia Bullrich, who was security minister in the previous Mauricio Macri administration, would get 25%, according to the latest polls.
Aunque el FPV es el que incluye a la mayoría de los legisladores de origen sindical en el período bajo análisis, también hay sindicalistas que arribaron a esta arena a través de otros partidos, de raigambre peronista como el Frente Renovador (FR), o de otras fuerzas de centro izquierda e izquierda, como el Frente Amplio Progresista (FAP) y el Frente de Izquierda y los Trabajadores (FIT), respectivamente.[Although the FPV includes most of the legislators with trade union backgrounds during the period under analysis, there are also trade unionists who entered this arena through other parties with Peronist roots, such as the Frente Renovador (FR), or other centre-left and left-wing forces, such as the Frente Amplio Progresista (FAP) and the Frente de Izquierda y los Trabajadores (FIT), respectively.]
The far-right Javier Milei defeated the centre-left Sergio Massa by a 55.7–44.3 margin.
In a shocking shift following the Argentine primary elections in August, which saw the victory of far-right Javier Milei, centre-left Sergio Massa pulled ahead in the first round of presidential elections in the country.
The economist, who garnered 30% of the support in the first round of October, is now in the final runoff against the Minister of Economy, centre-left Sergio Massa, who secured 36% of the votes a few weeks ago.
Javier Milei, an economist, TV personality and self-proclaimed "anarcho-capitalist" won Argentina's run-off election by a surprisingly large margin last week, beating centre-left Sergio Massa – the current economy minister – by 56% to 44%.
In the first round, the centre-left Sergio Massa won 36.8%, the far-right Javier Milei 30.0% and the conservative Patricia Bullrich 23.8%.
In Argentina, the centre-left Sergio Massa led the far-right Javier Milei by 36.7–30.0 with 23.8% for a conservative candidate. There will be a runoff between Massa and Milei on November 19.
