The Workers' Left Front (Frente de Izquierda y de los Trabajadores) is an alliance of three Trotsykist parties in Argentina formed to fight a number of elections in 2011, announced at a press conference in April.
They are the Workers' Party (PO), the Socialist Workers' Party (PTS), and Socialist Left (IS). They are standing Jorge Altamira of the PO for president and Christian Castillo of the PTS for vice-president on 23 October.[1]
On 12 June they won a provincial deputy in Neuquén Province with 3.60% of the vote.[2] The post will be held in rotation by Alejandro López, Raúl Godoy (PTS), Angélica Lagunas (IS) and Gabriela Suppicich (PO).[3][4]
On 24 July, in the town of Capitán Bermúdez in Santa Fe Province, the PO had a councillor elected, Jorgelina Signa, with 17% of the vote.
On 7 August Liliana Olivero of IS was re-elected to the Córdoba provincial legislature, this post will be rotated with Cintia Frencia (PO) and Laura Vilches (PTS). The list won 3.12% of the vote, this was largely concentrated in the provincial capital where it won 5.45%.
On 14 August Altamira and Castillo won 527,237 votes, 2.46%, in a primary election. [5]
On 23 October they came very close to winning a national deputy in two areas. In Buenos Aires city their vote was only 0.2% short. In Buenos Aires Province their share of the vote would have entitled them to a deputy, but they fell at a second hurdle where they needed to win 3% of the number of voters on the electoral register.
