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:
“Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Every epoch which seeks renewal first projects its ideal into a human form. In order to comprehend its own essence tangibly, the spirit of the time chooses a human being as its prototype and raising this single individual, often one upon whom it has chanced to come, far beyond his measure, the spirit enthuses itself for its own enthusiasm.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“After a pause at Ball’s Hill, the St. Anne’s of Concord voyageurs, not to say any prayer for the success of our voyage, but to gather the few berries which were still left on the hills, hanging by very slender threads, we weighed anchor again, and were soon out of sight of our native village. The land seemed to grow fairer as we withdrew from it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
