Popular Unity (Spanish: Unidad Popular; UP), officially registered as the Electoral Instrument for Popular Unity (Spanish: Instrumento Electoral por la Unidad Popular) is a left-wing nationalist political party in Argentina, founded by trade union leader and former CTA secretary-general Víctor De Gennaro in 2010. It was part of the Frente de Todos, the coalition formed in 2019 to support the presidential candidacy of Alberto Fernández.[10] It is now part of the Union for the Homeland which was formed to support Sergio Massa's 2023 presidential campaign. From 2011 to 2013 it was part of the Broad Progressive Front (FAP).[11]
The party presently counts with no representation at the federal level; UP's De Gennaro and Claudio Lozano both sat in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies until 2015.[12] De Gennaro ran an unsuccessful presidential campaign at the 2015 general election.[13]
