History
[edit]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]
