The National Alfonsinist Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Nacional Alfonsinista, MNA) is a political movement in Argentina with a radical Alfonsinist ideology, founded in 2014 by Leopoldo Moreau a former member of the Radical Civic Union, Gustavo López (leader of the FORJA Concertación Party) and Leandro Santoro (of the Los Irrompibles group), who formed as part of the Front for Victory in 2015, Citizen's Unity in 2017, the Frente de Todos in 2019 and the Unión por la Patria[2] in 2023. It integrates the political field of Kirchnerism.

History

In 2014 the MNA split from the Radical Civic Union (UCR) and joined the Front for Victory. This rupture of the UCR materialized through a three-day congress held in Parque Norte in the City of Buenos Aires. In March 2015, Ernesto Sanz, the president of the UCR, announced the expulsion of Moreau from the party.[3]

In 2017, the MNA was part of the founding parties of the Citizen Unity alliance to compete in the 2017 legislative elections.[4]
