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:
“I am less affected by their heroism who stood up for half an hour in the front line at Buena Vista, than by the steady and cheerful valor of the men who inhabit the snow-plow for their winter quarters; who have not merely the three-o’-clock-in-the-morning courage, which Bonaparte thought was the rarest, but whose courage does not go to rest so early, who go to sleep only when the storm sleeps or the sinews of their iron steed are frozen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There must be no cessation
Of motion, or of the noise of motion,
The renewal of noise
And manifold continuation....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
