The Front for a Country in Solidarity (

center-left[5] political coalition in Argentina. It was formed in 1994 out of the Broad Front (Frente Grande), which had been founded mainly by progressive members of the Peronist Justicialist Party who denounced the policies and the alleged corruption of the Carlos Menem administration;[6] the Frente joined with other dissenting Peronists, the Unidad Socialista (Popular and Democratic Socialist Party) and several other leftist parties and individuals. Its leading figures were José Octavio Bordón, Carlos "Chacho" Álvarez and Graciela Fernández Meijide
.

History

Shortly after the founding of the party, Bordón stood for President at the

Argentine National Congress. The Intransigent Party and the Christian Democratic Party
joined the coalition. Bordón later resigned after a leadership battle and returned to the Justicialist Party. The FrePaSo campaigned for the
Alliance for Work, Justice and Education
. The alliance was effectively broken the next year, when vice-president Chacho Álvarez resigned amidst public intra-party accusations of bribery in the Senate, followed shortly after by other leading members.

After the

2001 elections FrePaSo became the joint third largest party in the federal Chamber of Deputies
, with 17 of 257 deputies. Subsequently, the party disintegrated. Many members re-joined the Peronist movement within the centre-left
