History
It was in opposition against the ruling Front for Victory faction within the Justicialist Party and therefore considered part of the dissident Peronist wing until 2019.
The Front was founded by Sergio Massa, the mayor of Tigre, in 2013, ahead of the Argentine mid-term elections. Massa was chief of the cabinet under President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner from 2008 to 2009 and member of the Front for Victory, but broke with the Kirchnerist faction and formed his own political movement.
In the October 2013 mid-term election for the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, the party won 43.9% of the votes and 16 of 35 seats in Buenos Aires Province, distancing the Front of Victory by more than 11 percentage points.
The Renewal Front demonstrated against a possible reform of the National Constitution to enable a third consecutive term of the then President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
The Renewal Front held Sergio Massa's candidacy for Presidency within the national coalition for United for a New Alternative. Massa triumphs in the intern against José Manuel de la Sota and is a candidate in the 2015 presidential elections, where he obtained third place and failed to enter the ballotage.
In the 2017 legislative elections, it is grouped together with Generation for a National Encounter, led by Margarita Stolbizer, to form the 1 Country front which promoted the Massa formula for senator and Felipe Solá for deputy.
After discrepancies regarding the direction that space should take in October 2018, Felipe Solá with Facundo Moyano, Daniel Arroyo, Fernando Asencio and Jorge Toboada decided to leave the space, forming another block in congress and definitively breaking with Sergio Massa.
In 2019, the Renewal Front formed the Frente de Todos supporting the presidential formula Alberto Fernández – Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. The leader of the party, Sergio Massa, ran for the first national deputy candidate for the province of Buenos Aires. Massa became President of the Chamber of Deputies and Mario Meoni became Minister of Transport. In July 2022, Sergio Massa transferred to economy 'superminister', leading a new ministry overseeing economic, manufacturing and agricultural policy.
In the 2023 Argentine general election, Massa was the presidential candidate of the ruling Union for the Homeland. In the runoff, Libertarian candidate Javier Milei defeated Massa with 55.7% of the vote, the highest percentage of the vote since Argentina's transition to democracy. Massa conceded defeat shortly before the official results were published.

Proposals
-
All candidates for the 2023 presidential elections.
The presidential candidate of the Renewal Front Sérgio Massa in his 2023 presidential campaign, proposed a series of liberal measures such as a "tax progressiveness" along with a more austere state, in terms of spending and the unification of some public companies, in search of zero deficit. He also stated that some taxes are proportionally poorly collected, where a doctor pays proportionately more income tax than an export company.
At the same time, he proposed lowering withholdings on the countryside, to colloquially "get the paw off the of agriculture", in search of a commercial balance.
He also proposed transforming social programs into labor inclusion programs, based on five key conditions. Which are:
- Mandatory job training
- Registration in the local employment exchange
- When the worker who has a plan enters the market, the employer who took it will not pay social security contributions for 2 years
- The worker who has a plan enters the labor market, will receive the plan and the difference in the agreement salary will be set by the employer
- In addition to training, presenteeism in productive units
