Encuentro Amplio
Topics: Political parties in Argentina
The Broad Encounter was a left-wing electoral front in Argentina formed ahead of the 2005 legislative elections.
Based on the Frente Amplio of Uruguay, the alliance was formed of the Intransigent Party, the Socialist Party and the Communist Party of Argentina with sections of the Great Front and the Front for Change, plus representatives of social organisations such as Apyme [*]. It contested the seats for senator, with Ariel Basteiro as first candidate, and for deputy in Buenos Aires Province and for deputy in Buenos Aires in alliance with the Autogestion Liberadora Buenos Aires (ALBA) [*].
The alliance performed badly in the election, gaining less than 1% in the capital and losing all its legislators at a national level.
