From 2019 to 2023, it was part of the Frente de Todos, a Peronist coalition formed to support the candidacy of Alberto Fernández (in whose ticket Fernández de Kirchner stood as candidate for vice-president).[10] Following the Frente de Todos's victory, the Patria Grande Front became represented in the national cabinet with the appointment of Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta as Minister of Women, Genders and Diversity.[11] In 2023, it became part of the Unión por la Patria coalition, the successor to Frente de Todos, formed to support Sergio Massa's presidential candidacy.
Patria Grande counts with minor representation in the lower chamber of the National Congress, with only three national deputies: Itai Hagman, Federico Fagioli, and Natalia Zaracho.[1] The name of the front derives from the concept of Patria Grande.
