On 27 October 2019, Fernández won the general election with over 48% of the vote, defeating incumbent Mauricio Macri in the first round.[16] The coalition currently holds a majority in the Argentine Senate and minority in the Chamber of Deputies; in both houses it is conformed as a unified bloc.[21]
The coalition uses the same name as an earlier coalition that operated in Corrientes Province from 2001 to 2009.[22]
History
The Frente de Todos is a coalition that seeks to create a union of all sectors of Peronism (including Kirchnerism), 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.[23][24]
The front has the support of the General Confederation of Labor, Argentine Workers' Central Union and most of the labor unions in Argentina.[25][26]
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.[27]
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, 2019, 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 Argentina. At nightfall, in the Casa Rosada, the assumption of the new president was celebrated with dances, lights, fireworks and speeches.
