The Frente Renovador (FR) is an Argentine Peronist political party. The party is a member of the big tent political coalition Union for the Homeland. In 2019 the party was legally recognized after obtaining definitive legal status in the electoral districts of Buenos Aires Province, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Santa Cruz, Tucumán, Santiago del Estero, Santa Fe, La Pampa and Chubut.[3][4][5][6]

The immediate precedent is a district electoral coalition of the Buenos Aires Province in Argentina, established in 2013 to participate in the legislative elections of that year. It was composed by the parties Fuerza Organizada Renovadora Democrática, Frente Renovador de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Unión Popular, Nuevo Buenos Aires, Tercera Posición, Movimiento por la Equidad, la Justicia y la Organización Popular, Party of Labour and Equity, and the Partido de la Concertación Social, and recognized Sergio Massa as its most prominent leader, who headed the list of candidates for national deputies.[7]

Although the Frente Renovador did not run in the 2015 presidential elections, the national political coalition UNA, which supported Sergio Massa's candidacy for president, is frequently referred to as the "Renewal Front".[8] Currently, the party is a member of the Union for the Homeland political coalition, previously called Everybody's Front, which fielded Massa himself as a candidate for the first national deputy for the Buenos Aires Province. In December 2019 Massa was elected President of the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation, occupying the third place in the presidential line of succession.

In the 2023 elections, Sergio Massa was the candidate put forward by the Renewal Front and Union for the Homeland, and became the most voted Peronist candidate. Nevertheless, he lost in the ballotage to right-wing libertarian candidate Javier Milei, who was sworn in as president of Argentina on 10 December.[9]
