The Front for Victory (Spanish: Frente para la Victoria, FPV) is a peronist centre-left[neutrality disputed] political party and electoral alliance in Argentina. Formally it is still a faction of the Justicialist Party. It is led by current president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner[citation needed]. The party is collocated at the left-wing part of the Argentine political spectrum.
The Front for Victory was created in 2003 to present Néstor Kirchner as candidate for the presidency. Due to internal disagreements over leadership, the Justicialist Party could not go to the 2003 presidential elections as such.
At the legislative elections of 23 October 2005 the FPV won 50 of the 127 elected deputies (out of 257) and 14 of the 24 elected senators (out of 72), thus obtaining the majority in both Houses of Congress.
Some politicians of the oposition to FPV from within the Justicialist Party continue to support former presidents Eduardo Duhalde and Carlos Menem. Many members of the FPV themselves supported these figures before the rise of Kirchner, including him.
