The Front for the Renewal of Concord (Spanish: Frente Renovador de la Concordia) is a provincial political party in Argentina, based in Misiones Province.
The front was put together in 2003 by supporters of the province's governor, Carlos Rovira, to ensure his re-election. Bringing together Radical Civic Union and Justicialist Party members and smaller local parties including the Movement for a New Country and Progreso Social, the front had the support of Peronist President Néstor Kirchner. The front supported Kirchner in the 2003 election and its representatives in Congress sit as part of the Kirchnerist Front for Victory block.
At the legislative elections of 23 October 2005 the party won two of the 127 elected deputies (out of 257) and two of the 24 elected senators (out of 72). As of 2007, its senators are Eduardo Torres and Elida Vigo. The Front's candidate for Governor, Maurice Closs, was elected in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words front, renewal and/or concord:
“In front of a widow’s house is a sure spot for trouble.”
—Chinese proverb.
“A person of mature years and ripe development, who is expecting nothing from literature but the corroboration and renewal of past ideas, may find satisfaction in a lucidity so complete as to occasion no imaginative excitement, but young and ambitious students are not content with it. They seek the excitement because they are capable of the growth that it accompanies.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
