The FORJA Concertation Party (Spanish: Partido de la Concertación FORJA) is a centre-left political party in Argentina. The party is a member of the political coalition Homeland Force. Previously, the party was a member of the Front for Victory.[5]
The party has minor representation in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies: Mabel Caparrós, national deputy from Tierra del Fuego, was elected in 2019.[6] In 2019, FORJA also gained its first-ever provincial governor: Gustavo Melella, also of Tierra del Fuego.[3]
History
The party takes its name from the historical organization FORJA (Spanish: Fuerza de Orientación Radical de la Joven Argentina; lit. "Young Argentina Radical Orientation Force"), which existed from 1935 to 1945. Like the historical Forja, the Concertation Party is of Radical origins but is ideologically and politically closer to Peronism.[7]
