Patriot Front (Spanish: Frente Patriota) is a far-right ultranationalist political party in Argentina formed by the fusion of Bandera Vecinal and Gente en Acción. The political party has been described as a fascist, antisemitist and militarist ultra-radical political party. Its leader is Alejandro Biondini, a far-right politician with neo-nazi tendencies.

History[]

It was officialized by the Court Supreme as a political alliance in 2017, after the union of his two previous radical parties. It had a heavy controversy during 2017 Argentine legislative election in which the party was criticized because of receiving 20 million pesos for ballot print, but the National Electoral Council decided to decrease his funds, however the party printed all their ballots and presented their candidates nevertheless. Patriot Front took the case to the Jury and finally, the Court revoked the council's decision in favor of Biondini. In those elections, they gained 4.100 votes in Buenos Aires, and 28.500 votes in the province of Buenos Aires for national deputies and 31.500 for national senators.

The Patriotic Front has a far-right and fascist ideology. They have been criticized by wide parts of the population, mainly because its stance to the ongoing abortion question, Biondini's anti-Zionist opinion among the big Jewish part of the population, their society change proposal, installing a patriarchal society, similar to the utopia pretended by the Nazi party; reinstatement of the conscription and the civilian faith on the military, broken since many parts of the population have a miserable opinion on the military and what they believe is a reckless conception of freedom, product of the National Reorganization Process, governed by the military from 1976 until 1983.

They have an online manifesto, which explains the ideology, their doctrines and their proposals. The party is conformed by seven principles: faith, discipline, loyalty, solidarity, discretion, patience and happiness, which it indicates that those principles are essential to Argentina's growth and ten proposals. They have an ambitious aggressive foreign policy that includes having good relations with their neighbours. They defend their integrity with the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) severing diplomatic relations with United Kingdom and Israel, expelling all diplomatic personal and missions of both countries, having effect after the ending of the usurpation of the islands. They don't recognize the Treaty of Madrid, which neutralize any material positions of UK and Argentina, they defend their sovereign of the Argentine Antarctica and have a harsh stance of any form of colonialism and human right violations around the world.
