History

2018

In 2018 José Alejandro Bonacci, president of the party, decided to form the ultranationalist Patriot Front together with the Popular Country Party, Neighborhood Flag and the People in Action party. They defined themselves as a nationalist alternative to the progressive left and the liberal right. With disturbances in the party, the alliance would be dissolved, without being able to participate in any election. [10] [11]

2019

In 2019 UNITE formed the liberal alliance Frente Despertar, together with the Constitutional Nationalist Party-UNIR, the Union of the Democratic Center and the Libertarian Party. After a sudden abandonment of the UNIR Party, to form part of Together for Change, the party would be the body through which the front candidates ran. They failed to register the alliance, because not all the parties maintained the requirements. [12] [13] [14]

2021

In 2021 UNITE became part of the La Libertad Avanza alliance. [15] In the City of Buenos Aires it presented as a candidate for deputy the syncretic model Cinthia Fernández. [16] The candidate did not pass the "PASO" elections.
