History

The Frente de Todos is a coalition that seeks to create a union of all sectors of Peronism, progressivism and social democracy, including political parties of the centre-left and left-wing, in order to avoid the continuation of the Mauricio Macri presidency.
The front has the support of the General Confederation of Labor, Argentine Workers' Central Union and most of the labor unions in Argentina.
After the disaster of the 2015 elections and the subsequent fragmentation of Peronism, former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner created a new movement, called "Citizen's Unity", which sought the majority in Congress and curb Macrism. However, in the 2017 congress elections, "Unidad Ciudadana" came out second with 19.81% of the votes.
On June 12, 2019, through a video in the official accounts of Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner, the "Front of All" coalition, and the subsequent union of the vast majority of Peronism, were announced.
In the primary elections of August 11, 2019, the coalition won with 49.49% compared to 32.94% for Juntos por el Cambio. Again in the October 27 elections, Alberto Fernandez won, with 48.24%, compared to 40.28% for Together for Change.
On December 10, with a huge march in favor of the new government, Alberto Fernández and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, swore in as President and Vice President of the Argentine Nation. At nightfall, in the Casa Rosada, the assumption of the new president was celebrated with dances, lights, fireworks and speeches.
