Encounter for Democracy and Equality (Spanish: Encuentro por la Democracia y la Equidad; EDE), more commonly known as New Encounter (Spanish: Nuevo Encuentro) is a Kirchnerist[10] political party in Argentina founded in 2004 by then-mayor of Morón, Martín Sabbatella.[1] The party now forms part of the Unión por la Patria,[11] the coalition which supported former president Alberto Fernández and Sergio Massa's presidential campaign.
From 2009 to 2015, the party was aligned with the Communist Party and the Solidary Party in a front called New Encounter, from which the EDE took its current common name.[12]
