Avanza Libertad
Argentine political coalition / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Avanza Libertad (English: Freedom Advances; AL), originally founded in 2019 as Frente Despertar (English: Awakening Front; FD), was an Argentine right-wing political coalition. Renamed in 2020, Avanza Libertad had legal status in the Buenos Aires Province.[4][5][6] Ideologically, it is libertarian conservative,[7][8][9] supportive of economic liberalism,[10][11][12] and critical of both Kirchnerism and Juntos por el Cambio.[13] Led by José Luis Espert,[14][15][16] it included centre-right and far-right factions,[1][2][3] with its more radical factions being compared to Spain's Vox.[17]

^ A: It included centre-right and far-right factions.[1][2][3] |
The coalition members included the Union of the Democratic Centre,[18] the Democratic Party of the City of Buenos Aires,[19] the Autonomist Party,[20] and the United Republicans.[21] Espert ran in the legislative elections with his own alliance of centre-right and right-wing parties. The presentation was made after the negotiations with the leaders of Juntos por el Cambio failed.[22] Previously, the alliance in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires also included Javier Milei, who later confirmed that he would compete separately from Espert.[23][24][25]
